Jeez, Cosmo. 

I just got done esplainin.  The count is a mirage.  Its private. Its not really there.  There's only a confidence.  There should not even be a getCount() method on SimpleTruthValue; its only there because in C++, base class inheritance is fucked up, and in C++, you have to put the methods into the base class, even if it doesn't make sense for them to be there.  This is the only reason why there is a count in the SimpleTruthValue.
