You'd think so, but I never write scientific papers and I get 50/50 too.`The algorithm for this one is probably as good as it gets: they just study the frequency of certain words, and byu certain words I mean stuff like "the" and "and:" the only theoretical mumbojumbo they come up with is after the fact, having to do with concreteness and something else.
This time I was lead to it because it was tossed off casually as support for some obscure point being made about science fiction being properly a man's field. Along with some crap about the hardness of the science fiction the person prefers and there being "a reason why engineers are mostly male." (another poster said, trenchantly:"there is, and it's male engineers.")
Not to mention that the "hardness" of the "hard science fiction" I come across seems rather limp to me, often. They might get their angle of momentum right, but they don't know beans about biology, often.
