Does the Mikrotik traffic-flow / netflow correctly implement netflow?

Reason I ask is there seems to be a disconnect between souce traffic and
destination traffic. For example if you have one interface that sees _all_
traffic it ether1 and ip is 10.5.5.5 the customer ip address is
192.168.1.1 ether2 there is no nat on the router etc., it just a router.
Now run torch on ether1 you get 1/2 the traffic be it source or
destination 192.168.1.1. Run torch on ether2 be it source or destination
you get the other half of the traffic. netflow / traffic-flow and torch
will not report both sides of the conversation between 192.168.1.1 and
anything else. For every inbound response to a data query there is an
outbound response that should show on that interface because it is a <two
direction> conversation.

It appears to me that Mikrotik netflow is not doing this correctly or it
is a bungled implementation.

Thoughts?
