It's not that unlikely that for a bot polarian at polarian dot dev are
just words within a sentence, the email address might be not noticeable,
while polarian@xxxxxxxxxxxx without doubts is an email address within a
sentence.

It's probably not only about replacing an "at" and some "dot"s and
spaces. A bot can easily replace the "at" and some "dot"s and spaces,
but for a bot it might be hard to detect the obfuscated email address. A
bot isn't neurodivergent, but a complete idiot.
