8L Stats: Effect of dialogue occurence on story rating

[TheLobster]

Seems like a nitpick, but I think I'd also consider paragraphs that go:
"Blah blah," he said.
"Blah blah blah," she replied.
"Blah blah blah!" he insisted.
"Blah blah blah?"

as dialogue-only. To me, that's a 100% dialogue sequence, but in a double-quote-only model it's 25%. Not sure to pick that up.

Also:

“Hey,” he said, “this is dialogue, too!”

I have a tendency to write most of my dialogue this way, so OP’s methodology would classify even my most dialogue-heavy pieces to contain less than 10% dialogue.

Only the revised methodology. The original methodology uses all opened and closed double-quotes. But yeah.
