Reason_bimorphic will not cover the case when total counter
is larger then sum of 2 receivers in real bimorphic case.

What I am saying is currently the only reliable information
these counters can give us is monomorphic case. We can not
relay on them (in current implementation) to distinguish
bimorphic case from polimorphic case. This is why Reason_bimorphic
helps. If we use counters differently we don't need Reason_bimorphic.
