Again - my question revolves not around the whether or not I am getting good or bad estimates - my question is related
tothe fact that the nested-loop row estimation does not appear to be derived from the nodes below it - it is off by
ordersof magnitude. I've never seen this before.
That aside, yes - I did analyze and tweak stats target during experimentation - no change.
