I'm afraid you're wrong. I don't know if this is the case, but spoofing the
source address to establish a TCP connection is a well known attack tecnique.
Granted, it's not an easy one (excluding when used with some OSes), but it's
possible (and nmap itself has options to check a particular system weakness
in respect to source address spoofing, namely -O -v).
