Comment(by nacin):

 Here are just some of the various things that might be a row in the
 "posts" table:

  - posts and pages, including those in drafts and trash.
  - revisions of posts and pages.
  - autosaves of posts and pages.
  - attachments (uploads) that are attached to posts, pages, or are
 orphaned.

 I've probably missed a few, and I'm ignoring custom post types as well.
 One row in the "posts" table is not equal to one "post", period.

 Finally, the main point of this comment: If you need to display the number
 of posts, then use the API. Specifically, I'd start with
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_count_posts, which has
 existed since 2.5.
