The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[oshfdk]

I did not hunt for books that fitted the statistics of the SPS.  

I think you did. Not with a calculator, but still you were looking for a text that would fit the profile of SPS - a large number (preferably ~300) of relatively short paragraphs. You didn't consider huge 1000 page long tomes, you didn't consider short treatises either, because these wouldn't match quite obviously. So you ran a pre filter that removed most books with wildly different statistics from consideration.

Probably you were still dissatisfied with the match and you had to design custom paragraph breaks in SPS to make the data fit better. Otherwise I think you would just be happy with the obvious paragraph brakes.
