The Meaning of LOGIZOMAI

I recently received a posting on an another forum
which is dedicated to more theological discussion. 
The issue at hand was the nature of justification.  I
am raising this here, not to import theology to this
forum, but to get clarification of an argument based
on the meaning of the Greek word LOGIZOMAI.

The post I received contained an extract from the Blue
Letter Bible (whatever that may be) which concluded
with the following statement: "This word deals with
reality. If I 'LOGIZOMAI' or reckon that my bank book
has $25 in it, it has $25  in it. Otherwise I am
deceiving myself. This word refers to facts not
suppositions."

Does this statement accurately reflect the meaning of
LOGIZOMAI.  It certainly does not seem to agree with
the what I have always understood about the word.
