I think it would be better if you stick yourself to the discussion
at hand, and not try to get all sorts of other things involved.

ROW_COUNT is a function, defined after a succesful DML
operation (including SELECT).

Firebird does not provide any other thing related to row numbers,
row counts or anything.

Forget the hippos, the reports, the semi-smart managers etc...
