David, I love your email address! Very witty.
Looking through the 156 verses in the LXX and NT which use the word, it
would seem to me that it is used in a variety of ways.
Friberg says:
i; from a basic meaning think according to logical rules; (1) as an
objective reckoning; (a) as keeping a mental record take into account, keep
in mind, count (up) (1C 13.5); (b) charge or credit to someone's account,
reckon to (RO 4.11); (2) as the result of an objective evaluation consider,
look on as, regard as (AC 19.27); (3) as a subjective act of thought have in
mind, ponder, think (about) (1C 13.11); (4) as the result of a subjective
evaluation have an opinion, think, believe; followed by o[ti (that) (RO
8.18); followed by the accusative and an infinitive (RO 3.28)
Louw-Nida says:
to think about something in a detailed and logical manner - 'to think about,
to reason about, to ponder, reasoning.'
and also gives these meanings:
(a) reason about 30.9
(b) keep mental record 29.4
(c) hold a view 31.1
(d) charge to account 57.227
It also has
keep records of commercial accounts, invoices.
I reckon [I can pun, too] that the information you were sent is misleading.
