Interesting traffic anomaly

There are two ways of tracking how often a post is visited on this site: through the "Posts" list, which shows hits, and through the "Stats" list, which shows the top five recent posts and, if you switch to the all-time list, the top ten posts. The numbers do not agree. According to the Stats list, this post is No. 8 all time. According to the Posts data, it is No. 5. Not sure how the difference comes about. Interesting. To me, anyway. I doubt y'all give a fuck. Probably not even the Canadians.
