Could the Inmarsat data be an illusion?

All routes other than the southern arc appear to be ruled out by the Inmarsat data analysis of the pings between MH370 and the satellite. It seems that the Inmarsat analysis is accepted as correct and irrefutable by those in charge of the search. However, there are some in this forum who think MH370 is not in the South Indian Ocean and if that is the case then an explanation is needed as to how the Inmarsat analysis could be illusory.

So, is it possible that the MH370 pings could have been generated from an altogether different fixed location (Kuala Lumpur?) or variable locations (from MH370?) by generating the handshake data and appropriate signal characteristics to give the Inmarsat perceived (calculated) MH370 locations? I am not asking if that would be difficult which I'm sure that it would be. I am asking if that is impossible.

Are there any other explanations?
