Reading level is literally a formula involving the average word length and the average sentence length.
Given that, I don’t think there’s much point in me responding to the rest.
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.
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?
