I've noticed that for certain profiles, the number of tweets count is incorrect when you request a profile with include_entities=true
Is this a bug in the API or should I expect the counts to be different? I've included examples of the two responses below. Regularly, the API returns statuses_count: 9729 (which matches the count on twitter.com) but when include_entities=true it returns statuses_count: 3468 http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?screen_name=chronic { following: false profile_background_image_url: "http://a3.twimg.com/a/1296685920/images/ themes/theme1/bg.png" url: null follow_request_sent: false profile_image_url: "http://a2.twimg.com/profile_images/1236726056/ image_normal.jpg" description: "Hacker and entrepreneur with a knack for being awesome.
