Of course they can, anything is possible
My point is that it's NOT obvious. NATS has probably lots of security measures to make sure the sponsor isn't shaving. But you made it harder to see the easiest shave of them all, changing the tracking code.
The ones I've found and the ones that has been posted here is the ones that has been found by "just checking out the sponsor", not investigating if they shave.
"When I clicked the banner on the hosted gallery my wm ID 1234 suddenly changed to 999"
That's pretty easy to spot since you know what your wm ID is. But a 14 character string that is different for every site at that particular sponsor, is impossible to remember.
That's the only flaw I see. Other than that I'm sure you have a great product
