Agreed, however I don't think they can block one without blocking the other. All that AVRE does is transmit and interpret data between two addons. Data is received from a boss mod, compared to stored variables on what actions to take and player positions, and then the appropriate images are sent to AVR, which draws them. There are tons of addons that communicate using those same addon channels, and disabling would probably cripple the entire addon infrastructure. The only other way would be to somehow have the game interpret the data sent to determine if it is this type of data, but other mods make use of the same type of information for completely different purposes (like VuhDo using player position and distance to predict chain heal jumps).
