Comments count includes deleted comments, which it shouldn't
Using [this post](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276881/276996#answer-276996) purely as an example, because I'm quite sure that the problem is general. Observe: At first, we are told that there are "4 comments": >  Expanding inline, the summary says 4 of 4 comments are being shown, so where are the other three? >  The mystery is resolved once one goes to the full thread page, instead of looking at the inline view: >  **The number of comments as being reported in the inline comments view / post UI should match what's actually visible to the user.** In the above example, the "General comments" thread would be reported as having only one comment; if one navigates to the comment thread page, *then* it might be reasonable to also indicate the existence of the three now-deleted comments, but since those are invisible to pretty much everyone, they shouldn't be included in the comment count.
