The initial phase of a DARPA program that used publicly accessible online games to accelerate the verification of software has helped produce hundreds of thousands of program annotations in common software programming languages, adding credence to the idea that digital games can be an effective means of crowdsourcing solutions to software problems. The results have inspired DARPA to launch a new round of games with the goal of extending the successes to date and learning more about the approach’s potential.
 
If you were presenting problems for people to solve, wouldn't you also be interested in knowing what the people did in order to solve the problem so that more effective means of developing solutions could be learned and implemented? That's what DARPA does - solves problems. Not studying the problem solvers' methods would be a completely wasted opportunity.
