You would have to use an algorithm to randomize the intervals slightly; and even then it would probably not be too discrete.
Of course it uses a pseudo-random variation on the set timer, otherwise, as you've stated, it would be ridiculously easy to detect. Discreteness is an other issue of course, if you running for days at a time then you're an idiot. Otherwise people have been running it for about 7 months now (with proper discretion). I myself haven't played in about 6 months, just thought I'd leave this here.
obviously posted so zen can try and defeat it... problem is it is very difficult to detect... the random patterns make it alomst impossible to detect... yet again! with enough effort and the obvious stupidity of some it can be detected...
beyond that there is another way to detect when it is being done...
maybe zen will allow a torture time for those detected 
Detection isn't the answer. Best to prevent the bot from working at all. Detecting users is nearly impossible.
