Nothing to stop a browser from reporting it's a different one, but the big ones, Safari, IE, Chrome, FireFox, Opera should all be reporting correctly.
But, I'll take statistics that report on many sites, and the ones that get the most traffic such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc as far more accurate to real world use than your single site.

>Microsoft muddied the waters on its own, years ago, in the early browser wars when it would churn pages (via various FrontPage extensions) which wouldn't work on other browsers. The browser wars have gone cold, but the tradition of browser misrepresenting themselves remained. That alone makes many browser statistics unreliable.
