Is it intended that the view count reflects how many times the discussion was loaded rather than the amount of unique hits on the discussion? I found that; by spam refreshing the page, I can arbitrarily inflate the number of views a discussion has. Is this a "reddit" thing, or just an error?

Doesn't really matter, it's not generally the measurement technique for posts, but "Views" means that.
I also noticed this. Maybe it'll get a fix eventually.
