Well, the point of my comment was that you should record the rowcounts
so that you know whether or not a particular test case was skewed by
inaccurate stats. Whether you choose to disregard those cases or try
to include them in the analysis is up to you --- but assuming that every
number submitted to you is unaffected by bad stats is just asking for
trouble.
