Whoever thought that one up must have a special talent for doing stupid things.
So if you go and change the compression level and thus change the page count, that is your fault. It is not stupid at all. In fact, it's the only page count for eBooks that's not dependent on an extra file (aka Amazon) nor the font size, screen size, and any other settings that changes the number of words per screen.
