The flaw.


You are not keeping track of how many short sales are made to short covers. That is because you can't.


You are assuming that the only time a cover can happen is if the seller wasn't selling short. A seller could be shorting to a shorter covering. It has to happen sometimes, and you assume that it is zero.
