If you click on the first non-broken reference to matching Japan in medal count on your link, it states:

***"One reason that this is not such an easy question is that the answer isn’t even really true…

Stanford counts multiple medals for the same event (e.g. both members of the women’s gold-medal beach-volleyball duo are from Stanford), but the official country medal counts don’t."***

If you count each member of the team from Japan as a separate medal, then Japan would have won 15 medals for their softball team, 6 medals for gymnastics all around, 8 medals for their 2 medley swimming, etc. Their medal count would have more than doubled. Most of the higher medal count countries would have had even larger increases. Stanford would not have tied Japan, nor would it have been in 11th place.
