Rows_Processed in v$SQL

Question

Hi everybody,
How can you explain that the number of total rows of a table is different from the rows_processed in v$SQL when i execute the sql statement 'count(*) from the <table>'???
O.K. I FOUND WHY THE DIFFERENCE OCCURED.......!!!!
Thanks,
Simon

There is an addition with the previous execution :
SYSTEM@demo102> select count(*) from scott.emp;
  COUNT(*)
        14
SYSTEM@demo102> select sql_text,rows_processed from v$sql where sql_text like '%emp%'
SYSTEM@demo102> /
SQL_TEXT
ROWS_PROCESSED
select count(*) from scott.emp
             1
SYSTEM@demo102> select count(*) from scott.emp;
  COUNT(*)
        14
SYSTEM@demo102> select sql_text,rows_processed from v$sql where sql_text like '%emp%';
SQL_TEXT
ROWS_PROCESSED
select count(*) from scott.emp
             2
SYSTEM@demo102> SYSTEM@demo102> alter system flush shared_pool;
System altered.
SYSTEM@demo102> select count(*) from scott.emp;
  COUNT(*)
        14
SYSTEM@demo102> select sql_text,rows_processed from v$sql where sql_text like '%emp%';
SQL_TEXT
ROWS_PROCESSED
select count(*) from scott.emp
             1
ROWS_PROCESSED      NUMBER      Total number of rows the parsed SQL statement returns
