The fare structure system is far too complex for that to happen based on a single persons input. Now, if I were writing code for the AL I would probably try and create an algorithm that feeds the fare engine based on "hits" to a city pair in a dynamic sense. The opposite would also be important (lack of hits or hits with no purchase) as well and if your observation were true I would think they would lower the fare if you keep looking up a trip and do no not close the deal.
