docs(W4): withdraw the test count from the method paragraph, do not replace it
ci/woodpecker/pr/ci Pipeline was canceled

The paragraph arguing 'run the suite before concluding a docs change has no code
consumers' carried a number: 'CI 2592 ran 1617 tests, 1 failed, 1616 passed'.
That number is wrong and is withdrawn in place rather than deleted.

Extracting per-test totals from these pipeline logs is not a reliable method:
the same regex over the same log format returns 1003 for 2592, 1022 for 2593
and 3471 for 2594, which are runs of the same suite. Three irreconcilable
answers from one method is proof the method does not measure what it claims,
so no corrected count is substituted.

The claim is restated in what the log carries reliably, the named FAIL list and
the turbo task line. The count was decoration on a claim already carried by a
specific name: one named failing spec is what refuted three hand-searches.

hand missed the one that existed.
