Alternative to logicalNot() - not doing what expected - php

Question

I made a query in a EntityRepository.php file, the query goes through and gives me a number of matching entities for example:
100
My new goal is to filter out all entities which have the property feedback.appointmentState.uid = 4.
and when I put in this following constraint:
$query->equals('feedback.appointmentState.uid', 4)
it gives me
0
Now comes the part that I don't understand -
When I change that part to:
$query->logicalNot($query->equals('feedback.appointmentState.uid', 4))
I get
90
It's not quite working this way since it should output 100 as there are no entities that match that filter - but how can I achieve this the best way?
For clarification here my code example (of course I didn't uncomment both commented parts at the same time)
public function countByCompany($company) {
$query = $this->createQuery();
$constraints[] = $query->equals('deleted', 0);
$constraints[] = $query->equals('hidden', 0);
$constraints[] = $query->equals('socialworker.company', $company);
$total = $query->matching($query->logicalAnd($constraints))->count();
// $total is 30
// $constraints[] = $query->equals('feedback.appointmentState.uid', 4);
// $totalCancelled = $query->matching($query->logicalAnd($constraints))->count();
// $totalCancelled is 0
// $constraints[] = $query->logicalNot($query->equals('feedback.appointmentState.uid', 4));
// $totalWithoutCancelled = $query->matching($query->logicalAnd($constraints))->count();
// $totalWithoutCancelled is 15
return false;
}

I dissolve your last query to
public function countByCompany($company) {
$query = $this->createQuery();
$totalWithoutCancelled = $query->matching(
$query->logicalAnd(
$query->equals('deleted', 0),
$query->equals('hidden', 0),
$query->equals('socialworker.company', $company),
$query->logicalNot(
$query->equals('feedback.appointmentState.uid', 4)
)
)
)->count();
return false;
}
Try mine. Does this the same?
public function countByCompany($company) {
$query = $this->createQuery();
$total = $query->matching(
$query->logicalAnd(
$query->equals('deleted', 0),
$query->equals('hidden', 0),
$query->equals('socialworker.company', $company)
),
$query->logicalNot(
$query->equals('feedback.appointmentState.uid', 4)
)
)->count();
return false;
}
