So you want to count all 'articles' published? .. since ancient Persia ?

If I produce 100 apples this year and 100 apples next year, my rate of change would be 0.

If you produce 5 apples this year and 10 apples next. You will have double your output.

However I will still have produced more than you.

Not to mention that if I publish 100 articles, you still don't know whether I have produced a single useful idea.

Before jumping on your high horse, try reading his reply : "not total amount of articles published." ..
