Q: Does the program really know how many people have the same name as me? No. The program returns an estimate based on available data. It should be considered a "ballpark figure". It will usually return an answer in the right general area, but the chances of the figure being exactly right are very low. A full discussion of the accuracy of the program may be found here.
