Actually, chance is probably higher than that.

It's still possible to overload a load balancer (and, therefore, the servers behind it) and cause it to spit out garbage data. It could also be data loss coming down the pipes. Like a lot of apps, responses are probably served as a JSON array, which makes it easy for the receiving end to filter out bad data. What likely happened is that some parts of the responsse got corrupted somewhere, and overwrote earlier versions of the pool table in memory.
