Ivan has quite correctly pointed out that my analysis does not have a control or a baseline. I maintain that Dirk Pitt novels have an abnormally high level of nudity, and I hope to prove this. I will thus be performing an analysis on a James Bond novel, accepted by Ivan as being in the correct (and thus comparable) genre. Statistics will bear out my claim, I am sure.
