Mailbox's counter seems to be fake

It's fake, isn't it? Because there is no network activity when it figures out how many people are in front. It seems to be purely based on time. i wonder if the head count numbers on two iphones can be in sync? or if adjusting system time can make the queue shorter? anyway, Isn't this marketing idea evil?
