not stupid...pretty decent question (haha, i am half alseep and thought you said "stupid question")

firstly, NSS does not get reported

second, the numbers are the total number of open shorts. this can be a bit misleading because 1 share may change hands more than one time in any given day, so if this 1 share was shorted more than once, it would get counted as a short more than once.

that is my best understanding, although it may not be 100% correct.
