I can't believe they actually think this system will work for grading papers, it failed Churchill, Hemingway and Golding.

Fascinating. Then again, the article makes no mention of the prompts given to students who are graded using the system. My hunch is that the prompts aren't seeking creative writing, nor speeches.

Still, I've little faith in computerized grading of essays.
