How "effective" do you think this Obi-2 grade level is when dealing with simple one-line sentences?
For example, this sentence is treated as 13, beyond high school:
恋人の死の知らせに彼女は大いに心を乱した。
The Hayashi score is 95 (easy), which seems legit, unlike the Obi-2 result.
Perhaps the Hayashi method is better for simple sentences, and Obi-2 for analysis of large texts such as essays or books?
