@Zetmolm I have no reason to doubt what you say, but if it's true then:
  • a picture book made up entirely of images and no text other than what's on front/back matter will have more 'ADE words' that a doctoral dissertation on particle physics and therefore take longer to read
  • or if I zip up an epub with no compression then it will have more 'ADE words' than the same book with maximum compression
