En masse, with a popular website, sure. But from my limited traffic website where I sometimes look at individual requests by hand and see that it's my friends from residential Dutch IP addresses loading the page, I'm quite sure these are no secret masqueraded internet robots. Hence I conclude that, since much of the traffic (in periods that I look at randomly, the vast majority I never look at) is identifiable as human or as clearly a crawler, such unidentifiable bot traffic is a very tiny percentage.
I'm sure it'll be there, lots of people will be interested in what differences a page shows from different vantage points or to robots, but it's probably less than a percent of all robot traffic.
Though checking the thread above mine, I'm not exactly sure what I was replying to. Didn't it say something about robot traffic that wasn't identifiable as such? I don't see that anymore.
