Edit counts mean nothing. They're just a statistic reported from the database when it does queries to count the numbers. Someone having a higher edit count than another editor does not mean the editor is better than the one with a low edit count, which is why I hate the subjective "you must have X edit count" for all the flag requirements because someone could meet the requirements but be a terrible editor.
