Ok, I did a little further looking into this topic (“Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count”) and it appears that it’s more geared to using word counts to delve into the psychology of a person.

Not related to your example.

The Rome Labs program was impressive because within the document it was able to map pronouns to there referents and find variations of the same entity and coalesce them to a single reference. The relationship method was crude, which is not surprising given the complexities of the English language. It was far and away better than what I’m dealing with now. Maybe someday I’ll be able to get back to Wright Patterson AFB and get my hands on that project again.
