That would make sense, as it's one unique user. There was an article by Grandma Smillew suggesting otherwise. But I don't know where that information came from.

There is in any event the risk that with a shortform piece, 20 seconds reading - click away to a link - return and complete reading in 20 seconds - leave, would register as 2 views (or perhaps 1), 0 reads from that user, although there would be few cases of that.
