I tried some Hegel, who scored 0.18. Clearly broken.
Schopenhauer got it right, where BlaBlaMeter gets it wrong:
"If I were to say that the so-called philosophy of this fellow Hegel is a colossal piece of mystification which will yet provide posterity with an inexhaustible theme for laughter at our times, that it is a pseudo-philosophy paralyzing all mental powers, stifling all real thinking, and, by the most outrageous misuse of language, putting in its place the hollowest, most senseless, thoughtless, and, as is confirmed by its success, most stupefying verbiage, I should be quite right. Further, if I were to say that this summus philosophus ... scribbled nonsense quite unlike any mortal before him, so that whoever could read his most eulogized work, the so-called Phenomenology of the Mind, without feeling as if he were in a madhouse, would qualify as an inmate for Bedlam, I should be no less right."
I copied that text into the meter, got the .26 you saw. I then listened in to a conversation at the cube next to mine and wrote that in. "Using software as a service we can replicate and evergreen in the cloud." One simple sentence jumped it to a .35.
YES. Someone needs to make a voice-to-text app that has a "bullshit meter" needle, and that beeps rapidly (a la PKE meter) when a threshold is exceeded.
You're just bitter that that era of philosopher in general used an artificially complicated writing style, complete with invented terminology, that borders bullshit :)

definitely broken
Or perhaps it's a feature and it can pick out philosophical / artistic 'bullshit' from PR 'bullshit'.

Excerpt is cited as fair use, namely the educational value in evaluating a tool with three sentences of buzzword heavy english from a real site. Specific citation info omitted only so they won't be embarrassed, but may be found with Google.

some indications ... I'd say this thing is broken.
