why they don't use word count??

I don't know. I suppose it's quite difficult to define a useful
meaning of "word".

I mean:
foo=\xs->[y*2|y<-xs]

Would count as one word, I suppose, though the number of tokens is far greater.

Though I do think a word count as well, would hold more intuitive
meaning than gzipped bytes.
