Using a different calculator I found that the ten highest scoring articles on LessWrong averaged a score of 37, range 27-46. That suggests that there's a fair bit of variance between scoring methods, but if we could find a consistent method, a "Estimate Readability' button in the post editor could be interesting.

Don't contemplate, just do it!
