No, you're right, given the sample data shown earlier then count = 0
is what you would get. Somebody injected this FILTER example without
a lot of thought, it would appear, as not only does the output not
match but it's completely disjointed from the flow of explanation
(IMO anyway). This example originally introduced only HAVING, and
trying to make it do double duty just confuses things. A fully
separate example of FILTER would have served better.
I'll go do something about that --- thanks for the report!
