Rene, I added the label file you provided. I left Pliny for reference, and as you see the labels soar right over him - they are very varied. Is this what you were expecting?
Marco: I got some interesting results which seem to confirm my suspicion - though all of this is very speculative.
What I did was the following: in Notepad++ I selected a common word, which highlights it across the text. I then went on to remove that word wherever it appeared more than once in a 5-word window (so even removal throughout the text). I repeated this step until m5 was the same as the m5 for Herbal A.
So in short, I took shots at the m5 value (or lower) until it was high enough. This resulted in the removal of 87 out of 6941 words, or about 1%. So I removed 87 duplicate words that appeared within 5 or fewer word blocks.
As the bottom pink arrow I added indicates, however, this has a surprisingly small effect on the m500 value. I was not expecting the original Q13 and the altered one to be so close together. So even if I artificially kick up the m5 value, m500 remains really low.
