If some seem suspect, it's probably because they filtered out single-cabin flights already or those flights where they were not eligible for an upgrade (e.g. L fare internationally where miles were not applied).
I assure you my 60-for-60 is legit... I excluded 7 single-cabin flights.
My SO wasn't as lucky.. as a 2P she got upgraded on 23 of 33 flights, of which only 2 were based on her own status (SEA-LAX-SEA on a CR7), 20 were upgrades from me (CR-1, SWU), and 1 was based on a VDB re-booking (SFO-SEA). So if I weren't around, she would have been 3 for 33 (if you count a VDB rebooking as an "upgrade").
