Perhaps because the answer is meaningless?  IE why not ask how many lines
of code in the program, or how many comments.  I didn't notice any great
answer in your post either?

I think NPS is worthless to compare programs.  Because fast nodes and slow
nodes aren't 1:1 equivalent...  And I said that.  It _was_ an answer.  Just
maybe not the one he wanted.
