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.
