The JSON facets are estimations. Generally very close but are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate. The variance, as I understand it, is something on the order of < 1% in most cases. The pivot facets are accurate, but more expensive than the JSON facets. And, to make matters worse, the ParllelSQL way of doing some aggregations is going to give yet another approach.
