Re: THEORY: Expanding in translation?

I've gotten two answers from Cucumis about the difference in average length
of translations to traditional Chinese vs. simplified Chinese.

The first was that people are more careful and formal when writing in
traditional characters, less so in simplified characters.

I don't see how that can be true.

The second was that there just isn't very much traditional Chinese text to
compare the simplified text to, so the averages are different because of a
paucity of data (small sample size).

I'm going with the second reason.
