I think you mean 'hairy', not 'harry'. There are no 'harry' bugs, apart from that British fool who's in line for the throne.

It's completely stupid that I can't query and get an accurate total of
records in a table in under a second.

If it's so important to you, why not maintain your OWN count. Cache the figure somewhere, or update a figure when you insert a record.

A deviation of 40-50% is SIGNIFICANT! You might as well just use RAND() at that point.

Fine. Use rand() if it makes you happy.

This is absolutely baffling and astonishing how a company so seemingly smart
could make such an incredible blunder.  :-\
