As has been pointed out in the comments, word length isn't a measure
of importance. For our better articles, it's mainly a measure of how
much there is to say on a subject. For articles that are still under
development, it's mostly a measure of how much time people have spent
on that article. Ginsburg's article is currently rated as C-class, so
it falls under the latter measurement system.
