You're right and you bring up a very interesting point. As far as I'm concerned this settles it, let alone the fact that the word count seems to come from calibre itself. This plugin has never been "accurate" in the traditional sense of the word anyways... it's value lies in the rough idea it gives you about how long a book is, specially when compared to others in your library and its usefulness in that aspect hasn't change one bit because of this.
