Is this a bug: Products finished machine status count mismatch

[2B1]

Not sure if this is a bug or working as intended.

Does the Products finished value in the machine status reflect the number of cycles completed or the number of products finished?

For example some science packs produce multiple products per cycle.
The Products finished value in the machine status reflects cycles completed but for recipes that yield multiple products per cycle, not the actual product count.

If indeed the value is supposed to reflect cycles perhaps it should be labeled Cycles completed although that terminology could be confusing.

I searched the Known issues topic with this advanced search string and didn't find anything related ... "products finished" | science | count.

I had just setup Production science and watched as the first cycle completed.
I was surprised when the Products finished status value came up as 1.
After a 2nd cycle the value was 2.
Checking the Production screen the count showed the actual product count.

Please see the screen shots below.

Note the lower Production science machine hasn't produced any product as of these screen shots.

Thanks, looks like I should have also searched Not a bug first.
