I'm not saying anything about count(1) (which works like count(*) as you
explain, even though I see no point in using 1, since *'s hehavior is
well-defined).

What was wrong in your first message is that count(*) ignores NULL
(granted, you've corrected your mistake in a later message, which I
didn't see before posting).
