Why the actual number of visitors is much less than expected ?

Let's suppose that according to Google suggestion tool, a keyword has 10,000 US searches/ day.
In your opinion, why the actual number of US visitors is much less than that even for the #1 position?

What do you think about the fact that for each competitive keyword there are thousand of webmaster that check their position in the SERP everyday ? Could this behavior raise the number of daily searches itself ?

I forgot to say
10,000 US exact searches/ day

Those that you confirm to be "fake searches", i believed were just an hypothesis because in order to find if i'm on page #1 or page #2, i simply have to browse SERPs, but i don't actually click on any search result like a real user would do.
This means that i'm not visiting any of the SE results. Is this behavior still counted like the other "real" searches ?  In this case the number of monthly searches for competitive keywords is really inflated compared to the real number of visitors.
