Hello Cyrus, to answer some of your questions: markers count the number of words only when we suspect it to be under 750 (which is the general expectation). From the ones who fail, there are a variety of reasons: low word count, lack of main idea or thesis, lack of devices/techniques, organization issues, over-reliance on quotes, grammar/vocabulary/sentence structure errors, etc.
