Viewed Content Report - Forum Reply versus Forum Thread

In the reporting we have "Forum Reply" and it has its own "Total View Count" and it has a unique URL.

For the forum thread where this reply is, we also have a "Total View Count" for the "Forum Thread".

Does the Forum Thread count have within it, the Forum Reply count? Effectively meaning that the 'view count' is duplicated?

Further to this:

- How is the 'Forum Reply' count determined, and how is this incremented?

- Does it auto increment on a 'Forum Thread' view? Or does it have to be directly viewed, and as such is triggered when it is 'crawled' by a search bot, or from an e-mail notification?

Thanks.
