I think it'd arguably be a better system, because it'd award points depending on how difficult words are to form in Scrabble, rather than how common they are in language in general. However, a rather brief consideration of what that task would involve suggests the calculations would be quite nightmarish.
...and a sufficiently large text would probably yield similar results anyway, and be many times simpler.

Checking the letter frequency in the a list of words strikes me as odd.

In the spirit of using the New York Times, I'd suggest using Qo'noS QonoS:
http://www.kli.org/QQ/

It's already digitized and ready to scan by whoever has the software.

Though if someone already has another literary work in a usable format...
