As I said, some can be sifted out. There've been times I had time. The first Dune mighta had 10,000 good words. The rest altogether didn't. The different values all cost the same, which was sorta my point, albeit poorly stated.
I basically take your thoughts relating world-building and word-count as the norm, but they only reinforce my own opinion that there's far too little attachment to where we are in the world. Rooting stories in common ground grows a place where a few words can tell a thousand pictures - some of which might simply be respectful space for companionable silence. A small market though.
