That just tells us that more people use the code than star the repo. I don’t think that’d be a surprise to anyone. The claim was that more people clone and copy code from the repo than the ones who star it, which is a different matter from the number of users.

Thank you for clarifying. I meant use. The number of clones and the number of file/page views are proxies for that. So is the number of installs via pip, conda, and other Python package management systems, in this case. I updated my comment to reflect as much.
