The idea is that without abuse, there would be no block, and therefore that the
block, of itself, is evidence that the proxy is actively being abused at that
time. 

Providing scanning occurs relatively soon after the block, this thus provides
the element of human judgment needed as per comment 3; the resultant scanning
and blocking (if the IP is found to be a proxy) can then be performed entirely
automatically.
