I realise there may be a wider point to be made here but isn't 
this study a classic example of an academic wholly missing the 
point?

Subject: Data-mining Hamlet

Fascinating piece on computational analysis of Hamlet at
boston.com:

And the long link:

I think this is the kind of work that will eventually demonstrate
the merit of mass digitization projects.  I would love to see
someone working in this field put together a demonstration site
for a popular audience--data-mining of the complete works of Jane
Austen, for example.
