Question regarding "specials" in Watched Progress

[mmoore99]

I am accessing the api using the following command:
https://private-anon-b55c3ed8bc-trakt.apiary-proxy.com/shows/154574/progress/watched?specials=true&count_specials=false&last_activity=last_activity

The documentation states:

By default, specials will be excluded from the response. Set the specials flag to true to include season 0 and adjust the stats accordingly. If you'd like to include specials, but not adjust the stats, set count_specials to false.

The results of this query show:

aired: 53
completed: 10

The 53 aired includes 41 "specials" that are in season 0. Since count_specials is set to false shouldn't the aired value not include the specials?
