In the case of LessWrong, I think the core sequences are around 10,000 words, not sure how big the overall EA corpus is.
This feel like a 100x underestimate; The Sequences clocks in at over a million words, I believe, and it’s not the case that only 1% of the words are core.
(The mental-action I was performing was “observing what seems to actually happen and then grab the numbers that I remembered coinciding with those actions”, rather than working backwards from a model of numbers, which may or may not have been a good procedure, but in any case means that being off by a factor of 100 doesn’t influence the surrounding text much)

Whoops. I was confusing pages with words.
