No, you have to 'smash' stuff, and be the ball, and so on, and so forth.

I've menioned this over in pro cycling but arguably, given so many (largely to do with power meter based training) are so similar on the uphills, the downhills are becoming more important.
Nibali’s descent at Il Lombardia on the weekend proves the point. All from descending properly.

Absolutely, and in my view it was the reason he decided to make sure he caught Pinot at the top of the climb then immediately go in the front as he knew Pinot can’t descend like him.

The way some Strava addicts prattle on it would seem that they genuinely think that if they failed to record a ride then they never actually went on it.

The other day I bagged a trig point and the damn camera was out of batteries. Now I feel like it never even happened!!
Absolutely brilliant tactics. Race planned and executed perfectly.
The beauty is that most Strava fans are quite happy to go along with the illusion that it’s the case.

Depends on your personal viewpoint... some of them say they've done a ride, others might say they've only simulated one. I sympathise with the latter, without the challenges of wind and traffic and potholes et al, (and the pleasures of the view, wind in the hair etc) it's not really a ride.
That's the thing with Strava though isn't it, it all depends on how seriously you take it as to whether it's something you can really "cheat" at. I'm not a KOM chaser so I think if anything they're only cheating themselves... The more competitive Strava-ites may well feel more strongly.
For me it's a great time management aid.
I know how long it takes me for all my regular journeys. No more being too early for everything.
Beyond that it's a bit of fun.

Do they get a KOM for staying in one place?

Apparently there are KOMs in cyber cycling
