Yes, I think they broke this in one of the 2.0.x releases. I saw an unrealistic increase in this stat after Distant Worlds, around 10,000, when I probably scanned fewer than 1000 bodies. And Allitnil mentioned somewhere that he saw a huge and impossible increase too.
Several of the stats are wrong or suspect. It's odd that FD can simulate an entire galaxy but can't add up numbers correctly.

I never understood what those levels are.
Someone at FD (Michael?) once said the levels corresponded to honk, surface scan, and surface scan with DSS, but I don't know why they can't use terminology that is consistent with the rest of the game.
