You are assuming that Lewis is 100% accurate in everything he says and
statspack analyzer isnt?  Not necessarily a good assumption...  At the very
least, that article is over a year old, and according to the statspack
analyzer site, its  analysis is continually revised.  I have never seen the
particular phrasing he quotes, so I suspect it is no longer used in any
case.

Statspack analyzer is currently very good at identifying the number of soft
v. hard parses, which is very important to know.  I have used it several
times, and found it accurate.
