Yes. It has one paragraph containing the single word "six".

The flaw in the question is that the different methods are using different word delimiters and hence different definitions of exactly what is a word. And that is in what punctuation is considered a delimiter. If you produced something with absolutely no punctuation, no numbers, nothing other than the 26 letters of the alphabet (assuming English) then the different methods should agree. Unless one of them doesn't count "a" or "I" as words.

If you want to do this, please generate the book. And run the stats on it. I'm sure there are people willing to look the results.
