Comment (by carsonreinke):

 @kishanjasani Sorry for the confusion, my reference to WooCommerce was
 simply how I came to this area in WordPress.

 The following below seems wrong to me, since instead of returning NOTHING,
 it will return ALL posts:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $q = new WP_Query( array( 'post_status' => 'publish' ) );
 $q->found_posts; //All published posts

 $q = new WP_Query( array( 'post_status' => 'fake status' ) );
 $q->found_posts; //Should be zero, instead ALL posts
 }}}
