That is correct and something I point out to those who mistake post count for a knowledge indicator.
However, while most (hopefully all) who have posted on this topic here can agree that post count does not equal knowledge, it remains that in the eyes of a newbie they need some indicator of knowledge, especially where conflicting answers are given. Post count is one such indicator some of them use. This I know from discussions with many newbies over the past few years.
