Are you bloody blind? Have you ever seen a copy of a dictionary? The Third New International is in three volumes measuring 13 by 9.5 inches. It has 2662 pages of dictionary, not counting the introduction or appendices. The second sentence in the preface starts "This latest unabridged Merriam-Webster", and towards the end it again says "This new Merriam-Webster unabridged".
And here's what Merriam-Webster themselves say:

Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged
The largest, most comprehensive American dictionary available!
* Over 476,000 entries
* Special updated Addenda Section of new words and meanings
* 3,000 illustrations and 140,000 etymologies describing word origins

Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition
A new edition of America's best-selling dictionary! Setting the standard with:
* Fully revised print edition featuring more than 225,000 definitions
* More than 10,000 new words and meanings
Size: 1,664 pages; 7 1/4" X 9 7/8"
So they themselves think the Collegiate Dictionary has fewer than half as many words as the Third New International. But of course, how can Merriam-Webster know as much about their dictionaries as you do?
Yes, you ruddy have demonstrated how much you know about English!
