Essential particles→と, 考える example #3

Open ghost opened 9 years ago

The section on 'Essential particles'→と gives an example with 考える (to think):

"Another example is the verb 考える, which means "to think" when used with を, but "to think about" when used with と."

However, looking at examples of 考える over at WWWJDIC, it looks like the reverse (i.e. X と 考える meaning 'think that X', and X を 考える meaning 'think about X') fits better.

What I was looking for was some help at baby's first translation attempt, so I'm inclined to go with the WWWJDIC examples, but this seeming contradiction had me curious.
