In principle you are wrong, but in practice you are probably right.

It could be done with the cooperation of every ISP and NSP between you
and the origin.  Your ISP snoops the traffic and says "ok, it's coming
in on our link from $PROVIDER_2"; $PROVIDER_2 then takes over and walks
back to the point where the traffic enters *their* network, etc.

But that's what it would take, and, unless there are very few providers
involved or you have a h*ll of a lot of clout, getting the necessary
level of cooperation from them all will be approximately impossible.

Given how ingress filtering is normally done, however, there is a good
chance it's coming from within your own provider's network, in which
case only their cooperation is necessary.  It might be worth asking.
