We're assuming, of course, that SnapNames numbers are accurate to any degree. Yes, we allow the occasional deletion (we're not monsters over here) but we do ask you to ensure that when a domain is submitted, that it's correct and paid for. Sometimes mistakes happen, sometimes we delete domains.
Even then, if this number IS accurate (let's just suppose) then it accounts for less than .25% of our total registrations (give or take) and is quite a low number (hrm...) Still, I think the methodology used by snapnames (because they don't have access to registry data, and are extrapolating in some manner or another) is incorrect.
