My understanding is that org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics isn't
about counting boxes from children headings but instead about counting
children checkboxes. For example, here's a count with the default value
of t for org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics:
* h [0/2]
- [-] a
- [ ] a.1
- [X] a.2
- [-] b
- [ ] b.1
- [X] b.2
With org-checkbox-hierarchical-statistics to nil, the count is instead
* h [2/6]
- [-] a
- [ ] a.1
- [X] a.2
- [-] b
- [ ] b.1
- [X] b.2
