Could a user "fake" additional site visits in between each real visit in order to obfuscate the actual visits to GA sites?

  As Google Analytics is "self reporting" (i.e. your browser tells the GA servers what it's doing) you can avoid reporting or erroneously report whatever you'd like. It'd likely be easier for you just to block Google Analytics though if that is of concern to you. In the unlikely event that fake activity became a problem, Google's well equipped to deal with it. They have a great deal of tech and brains in place to detect fake ad click activity, which is vaguely related.

  That doesn't really help if $incriminating_website is among the real visits. I think obfuscation is a waste of time given the machine learning techniques at their disposal.
