Usually means that whoever is doing the counting really doesn't want to admit how many they counted.

We saw this with the anti-war rallies just before the Iraq war, too. They would say that a couple thousand were there and then pictures show there were much much more than that (100s of thousands).

Good for the women of Pakistan!
