clear_stats.php is only useful for Memcached. Slightly
counter-intuitive I'm sure :)

No. initStats.php is designed to rebuild it and recount it.

The only way to *reset* them to 0 (as in, you don't want any of your
current pages
counted, etc) would be to update the site_stats table and set all the
values (there's
only 1 row) to 0. Note that deleting the row would make it regenerate
all the stats,
not force them to recount, so you have to set the numbers to 0.
