Dear Paul,
Thank you for your clarification.
I've only been a daily user of Trados for years at the beginning of this millenium. The "previous TM" analysis wasn't at all a tick-box specifically made to lower wordcounts, and I attempted to explain the difference in that old thread: [url removed]
As an implementation of the old SDLX option, the Internal fuzzy matches option is only meant to decrease wordcounts compared to old Trados. Although I agree with Samuel that those internal matches may be the ones that deserve discounts most, to me coming from Trados 3, this now not-so-new option is just another insidious way to decrease weighted wordcounts.
