      Coming up with a way to quantify the complexity of a text to determine reading level is very different from the process of people reading.

      But if you’re okay with an educated elite ruling over the ignorant masses, I don’t think I can convince you that people aren’t things.

        Coming up with a way to quantify the complexity of a text to determine reading level is very different from the process of people reading.

        We’re literally discussing a study that attempted to quantify the complexity of texts people are comfortable reading. What did you think we were talking about?

      Lol. That’s why, as explained in the Wiki article you linked to, it’s a requirement in many states that auto insurance policies be written at no more than a 9th grade reading level.

      But sure, having 6th grade reading skills is perfectly fine.

      What a joke.
