I don't think that scoring "young adult" was intentional.  The 
HOT_NASTY rule checks for two-word phrases, and "young adult" 
is what you get if you take the most harmless word from each of 
the two sets.  It's likely that the creator of the rule didn't 
consider every possible pair and didn't notice that "young 
adult" was not a porn indicator.
