I agree. Often times I see a tweet, I will use it as a conversation starter with that person through some other medium like IM, email, IRC, Facebook, Buzz, or souls forbid, face to face communication.
Also often times a tweet exists solely to provide a tiny link/twitpic. The test didn't say if they counted tweets that had links that were licked on. Those were definitely not ignored.
