Interesting... I see similar strangeness:

<bel-kwinith:~/Desktop$> ls -li /usr/bin/which /bin/which
659285 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 24336 May  2  2014 /usr/bin/which
659285 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 24336 May  2  2014 /bin/which

Both are the same inode, so the link count *should* be 2.  The same is true of "bash":

<bel-kwinith:/tmp$> ls -li /bin/bash /usr/bin/bash
658498 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 960608 Sep  5  2017 /bin/bash
658498 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 960608 Sep  5  2017 /usr/bin/bash


But if I make links to a file, the link count is right:
<bel-kwinith:/tmp$> ls -li hello
2756645 -rw-rw-r--. 1 mengel mengel 1 Oct  8 10:35 hello
<bel-kwinith:/tmp$> ln hello goodbye
<bel-kwinith:/tmp$> ls -li hello goodbye
2756645 -rw-rw-r--. 2 mengel mengel 1 Oct  8 10:35 goodbye
2756645 -rw-rw-r--. 2 mengel mengel 1 Oct  8 10:35 hello
<bel-kwinith:/tmp$> ln hello aloha
<bel-kwinith:/tmp$> ls -li hello goodbye aloha
2756645 -rw-rw-r--. 3 mengel mengel 1 Oct  8 10:35 aloha
2756645 -rw-rw-r--. 3 mengel mengel 1 Oct  8 10:35 goodbye
2756645 -rw-rw-r--. 3 mengel mengel 1 Oct  8 10:35 hello

I'm almost tempted to remove one of them to see what happens to the other :-).
