Default Pot Equity

I just download PokerStove, and I'm starting to mess with it. I found this statement at their website.

The values generated are all-in equity values. This is not the chance that a hand will win the pot. Rather it is the fraction of the pot that a hand will win on average over many repeated trials, including split pots. The equity for a hand is calculated by dividing the number of "pots" that the hand won by the number outcomes considered.

I thought when we talked about pot equity, it was the number of times I'm good in the hand...looks like I many have this wrong.

So, if I have 75% equity in a hand, I can't say I'm going to win 3 out of 4 times?
