Always happy to! Yeah the weirdness it can cause with the counts is fun. Breaking bots is very fun—recently the bot ran into this issue where it has to paginate so long for some users (since the site has been active for a while now, and some users have a fuck ton of comments) that it often doesn't finish the count before another process picks up the message and starts counting as well, leading to double or triple commented requests. Annoying, but haven't bothered to fix it yet.
