Student Activity Data and Canvas's Summary Data Don't Match

I've been trying to fairly allocate points for student participation in the multiple discussion boards I've used over the semester.  I was pleased to find a method for supposedly (-- not faulting the script here, BTW) downloading student activity for the entire class over the entire semester.  (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Higher-Ed-Canvas-Users/Obtaining-and-using-Access-Report-data-for...).  However, when I try to processes student views and participations with the discussion boards, I find the detailed results differ from the summary provided by Canvas.  Here's a screenshot showing the issue.

The sum of this student's discussion boards views is 14 (and the student disputes this).  In contrast, Canvas's "Course Discussion" entry has a value of 71 views.

Does anyone know what is going on here!
