It's possible to build a well-machined combo with hard detents on every number of every wheel that would make it a lot harder to pick, but I don't know if anyone actually does.
Yeah...I am neither a locksmith nor do I work for a bike lock company, but I know cheap key locks can easily be picked, while more expensive ones can't (or at least it's really really difficult). I would think if they really wanted to, someone could do the same thing for combination locks...
