Discrepancy between # of actual tweets and # of tweets collected?

Hi! Newbie here. Not sure if I need to include the process. 

I used the Get Twitter Statuses operator, then got 876 rows. Upon checking the target user's profile, the total # of tweets is 882. I was just wondering about the discrepancy and what might have caused it.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @luckyY

Your thought about private accounts is correct. I can see this in the below link as well as it states you need user permission to access.

Own thoughts as of now: I noticed that I got data/rows even for "non-statuses", like the user's replies to statuses. Maybe the missing 6 are the user's replies to private accounts? Or could there be another reason?
