The retain count of any given objet at any given time is entirely an implementation detail.

If you can guarantee that an instance of a class that you created has *never* passed through *any* of the system provided APIs, then you can rely upon the retain count. As soon as you pass your object into someone else's framework, that framework's code may -retain/-release/- autorelease the object in any way it sees fit as long as it follows the Cocoa Memory Management Guidelines.
