Do search engines only count links that have google analytics?

[SEODinosaur]

I am reading a thread right now and I came across this statement:

Search engines can view clicks only if websites have Google analytics or some toolbar installed. Obviously that's not the case with over 50% of the websites. That's why I don't agree with your comment.

True or False?

Are you rereferring to search engine's ability "count links" or "view clicks"? 
The title says the former and the message is about the latter, hence my confusion

If you are talking about clicks - let's not forget that they have access to a LOT more data from other sources like Chrome, Android, etc. There is no sure way to know (as of now) if they are using that data though.

If you are referring to "view links", then yes they can as their cute little crawlers can sneak in and read website pages whether the site has Analytics installed or not

To answer this question: Do search engines only count links that have google analytics?

No. That sounds ridiculous. What about omniture and webmetrics?
