Incorrect number of answers showing in questions list

I've noticed that some questions have a mismatch between the number of answers showing in the question list page, and the number of answers showing on the specific question page. For example, the Rigorous Science question list shows 4 answers here:

![Question in list showing 4 answers](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/uploads/mDckfrHtrnD3F3WxM4BtPN2S)

However, the [specific question page](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/274190) has no answers showing.


Is this related to the question being imported and then having answers deleted, or do deleted answers always lead to this mismatch, even for non-imported questions?

Is the question a candidate for being deleted for the reasons mentioned in [Do we want to consider removing (most) mass-imported questions](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/280633)? Is the fact that it appears to have answers keeping it around when it could otherwise be safely deleted?
