Extremely good, this analysis made me cross my arms under my breasts, tug my braid, smooth my skirt, then sniff in disbelief. and of course I love the digression into: “Robert Jordan books have 1 sniff every 75 words” actually statistical error. Sniffer Hurin, who sniffs 80000 times, is an outlier and shoulndt have been counted, etc etc.
