I'm not sure those averages are so unlikely. Sure, the "typical" (median, 75th percentile, whatever) user probably doesn't clear cookies or switch browsers that often. But it only takes a small number of users with unusual behavior to raise the average by a lot.
If just 1% of users have cookies set to expire on exit, or use a "private browsing" mode, or whatever, and those users visit the site an average of 101 times per reporting period, then you have a 2x overcount already.
101 visits per month is probably high for most sites, but if you also have a significant minority of users who visit your site from two or more computers, that will raise the average too.
