I agree that hearing is a lot different than reading, but I also think that
the "analyze one sentence at a time as you hear it" approach is very limited
in its useful application. To use it to determine the ease of understanding
is one thing, to use it to decide what should and should not be allowed is
quite another. In this matter I agree to a certain extent with peHruS.
