Wait a moment. I can agree that it's a "common sense" guess that

P(bad spelling | less education) >> P(bad spelling)

but what that "technique" would imply is:

P(finds text with bad spelling belivable | less education) >> P(finds text with bad spelling belivable)

...which is kinda more interesting. So to speak.
