The issue came up just recently in the comments of <a href="http://www.roirevolution.com/blog/2009/05/tracking_transactions_back_to_the_initial_referrer_with_google_analytics.html" rel="nofollow">my post on the initial referrer profile</a> and I was glad to be able to point back to your post on this as an explanation. Avinash,

Background: Analytics treats any visit except direct and bookmark as a "campaign". So email, affiliate, organic search, banner ads and more are all considered campaigns.

Scenario 1: Affiliate Visit, Direct Visit -> Purchase
Visits to Purchase: 2.

Scenario 2: Affiliate Visit, Bookmark Visit, Direct Visit -> Purchase
Visits to Purchase: 3.

Scenario 3: Affiliate Visit, Bookmark Visit, Direct Visit, Email Visit -> Purchase
Visits to Purchase: 1.

Scenario 4: Affiliate Visit, Bookmark Visit, Direct Visit, Email Visit, Direct Visit -> Purchase
Visits to Purchase: 2.

Scenario 5: Affiliate Visit, Bookmark Visit, Direct Visit, Email Visit, Direct Visit, Organic Search Visit, Direct Visit, Direct Visit -> Purchase

Is it more clear now?
