Exactly. It's not even something you can calculate, because locations count bytes you can't see.
One heavily formatted page (screen) of text can have many times more locations than the next page of text, even if they have the same number of words.
Read a book that was converted from something like Word, and you'll have a big mess of ugly code that proves the main reason why locations are so cryptic and why they won't ever become a standard.
