We fixed the inconsistency a different way.  Instead of computing the numbers for all threads at page-load time, we still report the full number of comments, but when you expand the comment thread you see that there are deleted ones, like this:

!["skipping 3 deleted comments" before the one visible comment](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/pq03jp342vdcgsp6hiuu5tnwu3xx)

Expanding the thread now accounts for all of the comments so the numbers add up.  I can't find an example right now to confirm, but I *believe* that if there are lots of comments and some early ones are deleted, you'll still see five (undeleted) comments along with the "skipping N" entries.
