Actually the method was a compromise between using details and simple words as the unit of measurement. For, as it was being graded, the first story seemingly broke up into different units from those arbitrarily chosen at first. Afterwards the stories were regraded in the light of these natural units (natural at least to me) and these second scores are used here. Full credit was given if the actual words were reproduced and half credit for substitutions.
