not necessarily..
let's assume the following:

//----- starting example -------------

- (int)numberOfRowsInTableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
{
   return 2147483647;
}

- (id)tableView:(NSTableView *)aTableView
      objectValueForTableColumn:(NSTableColumn *)aTableColumn
      row:(int)rowIndex
{
   return @".";
}

//----- finishing example ------------
