It is stupid only because of how inconsistent they are about it. They will go out of their way to say someone never won a specific title or how many times exactly, but then, turn around and count combined championships, including stuff like throwaway tag reigns.
Then again, they do it elsewhere. A person can't have wrestled for years all over the world and still be a rookie.
