This can be defeated by existing voice verification technology, which can simultaneously recognize the digit string AND compute its distance from a model of the prompt. If it's too close, the system can reprompt. The distance computation would likely be immune to many of the affects you could apply to the recording that would still result in recongizable speech.
The more general "challenge" question just isn't feasible -- automation rates would drop dramatically.
It's a great idea, but changing from a "yes/no" recognition to a digit recognition will result in an order of magnitude increase in processing load. So telco can't go there without reprovisioning with upgraded hardware first. We'll be running RedHat16 by then.
There is a certain level of 'je ne sais quoi' necessary to run technology. You have to have some basic understanding of what youare doing and what the metaphors mean.

It's 'savoir faire', mon frere.
I've also noticed that the login dialog is very user-unfriendly -- needs a password textbox with autocomplete.
Are you speaking #2 as a cynic or a seasoned sales person? So bluntly put I can't tell if it's pithy or a pity...
