Ha Ha, I like that. I prefer chapters (sections) followed by paragraphs my self. Many specifications in the technical arena use exactly that kind of numbering and actually number the entries explicitly in the document but I agree it is not necessary since a computer can easily number them.

Interestingly the Kindle counts characters and increments a number every 128 characters in the file. I don't care for that solution since it has no human intelligence like paragraphs do but it is as intelligent as a page number and doesn't care about font sizes or page sizes.
