Why do so many Yahoo questions indicate one or more Answers, yet none are shown?

I've noticed a lot of spam answers, advertising goods for sale. I guess if someone were to report abuse, the spam answers will disappear, but the number of answers displayed will remain, e.g. if there was only 1 answer and it was spam, and someone reported it, and it disappeared, it will still say "1 answer" even though there is really none. You think this is possible?
