Well, it may be mostly bogus, but it's not *totally* bogus. :)

I use this number when I perform more advanced corpus splitting (see
my upcoming MT Marathon paper!), and while I can't claim to know that
it's accurate, it does at least seem to be well-proportioned. That is,
very short sentences that are processed very quickly report a small
number here, and very long sentences that are processed very slowly
report a large number here.
