Not impossible, but certainly not likely. It seemed we had two opposing views. One is that increased affinity would mean that the substrate would come and react faster etc thus increasing Vmax and the other was that increased affinity means that the stuff would be less likely to leave the enzyme, thus decreasing Vmax. Km and affinity are closely related but not identical.
Affinity is roughly the reciprocal of km.
