It doesn't work well, because clients ARE getting charged for false impressions.

Nope an impression is not a click (response). Google does not charge for impressions. You have to click on an ad to generate a charge. That is where the fraud takes place. It works like this. If you have XXXX amount of unique visitors to your website (the key word is unique) you charge a client a set price for that. A "Bot" that sits there and clicks multiple time on an ad would not have any effect on the price charged the client.
