I may be the last person to have figured this out: at some point in the last day or so it seems to have switched over to counting posts (added to the thread) instead of counting views.
So a new thread with 15 replies would show 16 "views".
Perhaps some flag tells it what to tally up, and when misplaced tells it to register the wrong thing, or so I imagine.

the threadviews table crashed. I repaired it, but all views since it crashed have been lost

Just a personal opinion: the loss of some view numbers is of no consequence whatever! Hopefully hardly anyone even noticed. What impresses me, again, is how much you are there for us who enjoy posting and reading PF. Thanks (for the manyeth time) for all you do.
