Got my 20D back from factory service today

Had it serviced for the known flash underexposure issue. Camera's ok now,
but something else bothers me now: after I took a few test shots I noticed
that the file number index has had moved up from ~450 to ~9600. Does that
mean the folks at the service center actually took approximately 9000+ shots
with my camera while trying to calibrate it? If that's actually true, then
(assuming the shutter life on the 20D is 100,000 cycles, and that's being
optimistic since 350D allegedly only has 50,000) the life of the shutter has
been shortened by one tenth, and that's just in the 3 days that the camera
was being serviced at the center... I don't like that one bit... :(
Has anyone, who had the similar experience of sending their 20D (or maybe
any other Canon dSLR) to be serviced by Canon, noticed the fact the file
counter index had jumped by almost 10 thousand?


P.S. I'm going to call them tomorrow and actualy ask them (the Canon service
center) that question myself.
