See the remarks in Section 40, “class NumberCell: Base class for numeric
table cells” for a
discussion of how records are combined and the effective count
is derived. For statistical purposes, we care only about the
non-questionable, non-count-week records, which are
accumulated in a CensusTotal instance in our
attribute self._regular. See Section 43.4, “CensusTotal.__float__()”.
