Paragraphs Contain More Than the Recommended Maximum of 150 Words #1525

It comes to my attention that "paragraphs contain more than the recommended maximum of 150 words" analysis is not working properly.

It shows me that "4 of the paragraphs contain more than the recommended maximum of 150 words", which of course is not true: http://prntscr.com/jrrbnb

I've carefully examined each and every paragraph to make sure that isn't the case.

This issue occurs the most when I insert listings, whether its "ol" or "ul". It's not the first time and it's not the first site. Even when I go and check the page source on Mozilla, it shows me that all the paragraphs are carefully separated and no paragraph contains more than 150 words.

Any recommendations how to fix the issue? Thanks.
