I don’t understand the part about using heuristics and deciding what counts as used memory…

Used memory for the system is always total minus available.

Heuristics? I would hope that the system knows precisely what is using every single byte of physical and virtual memory. Is this a reporting problem? Why do we have to settle for heuristics and not the exact number?
