Comment(by fwiffo):

 I'm fairly new to WordPress development, so forgive me if this is a stupid
 question... Why not use SQL's count() function to count up the number of
 objects (thingies?) attached to a term when needed? Is it a performance
 issue? Keeping a "count" column requires bookkeeping, and it can become
 inconsistent, and it either limits you to a single idea of "count" or
 requires some complexity in allowing for different kinds of counts.
