Even when you've been utterly, utterly trumped on, you still can't stop your beak from flapping.

I) Instead of, perhaps, trying to understand the poeme, or at least learn something from the experience of making a colossal wally of yourself, your mind is instead fixated on what OTHER PEOPLE might be thinking.

II) Of course nobody else reading this counts or cares. But you counted, I counted, I care, and clearly you care. I care because I want the function to be correct. Christ knows why you care.

III) This poeme does not contain words. It contains parentheses, λs and variables. So yes, the difference between 8 parentheses and 9 parentheses clearly is more relevant than words.

I'm fairly stunned that you can't see that. Why would you want to waffle on about words in evaluating this poeme?
