The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[nablator]

It is not just that the number of occurrences of  daiin (5) or daiin|dair|laiin (8) in the longest SPS parag is similar to the number of occurrences of 主治 (6) or 主 (7) in the longest SBJ recipe. 

Is it "the longest SPS parag" though? The one starting at f105r.17 would be longer if you didn't shorten it artificially with two paragraphs that have no star in front. If you identified them as paragraphs because of some p, there are instances of them, of course, on lines that are not the first lines of paragraphs.

(EDIT) I just found the detailed explanation. Well, I disagree.

Considering only the obvious breaks, lines 17-23 would be a single 7-line parag, with starlet S05. That would make it the longest parag of the SPS. While that alone would not make it uspicious, it also fails to be perfect because it has puff words below the head line: @paiir and olfaiin, both on line 20, and @ypair, @oepaiin, and @opail on line 22. It also has @opchey and @chefchedy on the short tail line (23).

Thus it seems likely that lines 17-23 are actually two or more parags, all but the first without starlets. We decided to break before lines 20 and 22. That created the parags 17-19 (3 lines), 20-21 (2 lines) and 22-23 (2 lines), none of them perfect. But these lines too should be excluded from parag-sensitive analyses.

About the length of the SBJ recipes: the next recipe looks longer to me in the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. Should they be simplified by removing what is between parenthesis and brackets?
