* There is no way to get 145 occurrences of the words "life" nor "death", because when we look at all the words derived from the same roots as the two words, we see that there are less than 145 derived nouns. So in order to get 145, nouns and verbs would have to be counted together. That method, besides being absurd, wouldn't change anything about the fact that the words "life" and "death" do not appear the same number of times. | * There is no way to get 145 occurrences of the words "life" nor "death", because when we look at all the words derived from the same roots as the two words, we see that there are less than 145 derived nouns.

Actually, the more chances there are to get an interesting number, the higher is the probability of finding it (and the less amazing it is, when it is found). | * Also there are probably hundereds of ways to do the word count, so if one of those ways gets an interesting result, it is not amazing.
