No. The number you get when entering a group is MAX-ARTICLE less
MIN-ARTICLE. This is usually a much bigger number than the actual
number of articles in the group, since lots of articles usually are
expired/deleted -- especially in mail groups. This will probably be
less confusing in Red Gnus.
Perhaps this should be added to the FAQ list?
