Bill,
there is the wild range of entries that you will see.
from those sandbaggers that knowingly enter vastly slower times than what they will go to those that unknowingly do this to those that enter at or better than the World Record (yes this happened in Italy this summer).
of course there is also the multitudes (almost 60 in each of my age groups events in Italy as an example) that entered and could not even make the cutoff time. thus making a long running big meet last 16+ hrs every day for a week.
in the end, don't we all strive for going faster than our entry time even if seed time is your best ever?
Every time I have seen someone enter an impossibly fast time it has been a mistake. Usually a typo or entering their 50m time in a 100m event for example. Once a very inexperienced swimmer on my team decided to swim the 200 free so they took their 50 free time and just multiplied it by 4.
