You're assuming that the complexity of text is the purpose of a board about text when the purpose of this board is for text to be more easily understood.

/sp/ has funny memes and some witty ass people making fairly alpha jokes, but let's be honest: they haven't a clue of the cannon--ironically-unironically, and have little understanding of the impacts thereof. I'm sure their are some smarties there, who either don't read because, "I live and learn and love from life!", or, have read a few classics here and there. Either way, it's an insult and a slander that they are above us on your graph and I demand an edit! Demand I say! You have 24 hours

Yes, i know what the flesch kincaid test is, i was wondering what text it was sampling. If it was based on the text on "/lit/ humour thread" it would get a different result than a "critique thread".

I'm the one who created this graph. I noticed someone posted it on a few boards for some reason looking though the archives.
I dumped every board into a text file and ran the test on them.
Whoever posted it got it from this thread as you can tell from the filename: >>>/qa/1989755
If you want the actual text it is here: >>>/qa/1990663
I just did this for a bit of fun but I guess some people are going to take it seriously.

All this test shows is how hard it is to parse text. Incomprehensible nonsense in a flesch-kincaid scores higher than plain language, so by this metric of course better writing gets a lower ranking.
