Was it Einstein who said:
"You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to
your grandmother"
Can somebody explain streaming to their grandmother?

It's traversing the subtree rooted at $n that's not an inspection

so -- not because of the count(), but because of the traversal.
My reading of it so far suggests that count($n/some/path) would be
"striding" and therefore streamable.
It would only be "absorbing" if you materialised the contents of <path>.
