Why do we want those statistics? To say "I wrote more than you... haha"?

Why count the number of CVS commits or the number of changed lines? I can 
write a lot of patches with many changes and still everything stays the same. 
I can write something in 10 lines, someone else does the same thing in 3 
lines, who is more productive?

Another example: Linus gets a lot of patches for his linux kernel and he 
commits those patches. The real authors of those patches will never end up in 
the statistics while Linus gets 100%. Fair?
