Oh for sure, but it's pretty easy to spot people who are segment hunting vs people that have completely unrealistic splits. You also notice that usually when they have these KOMs, they'll have broken their km or mile pb with something completely unrealistic.
The plotted route is a dead giveaway. He's KOM for one section with a 1min/mi, equivalent to a sub 4 second 100m.

Have to say I've never noticed any discrepancy with Strava. I've seen my route jumping slightly to a nearby segment, but I think this has only happened once or twice. And never any 'wiggling' - has any one compared strava / watch recently?
Strava is also pretty open on the fact that they use estimated times as their GPS can only be so exact. RE @nefarious 's point - I hoof it on segmnets all the time and then grind to a crawl afterwards lol
