The article emulates that result by synthesizing words. The problem with using /user/dict/words is that there aren't enough to get a really good statistical estimate of collisions at more than very small scale.

Also the core primitive is AES which should calm most such worries.

Not to mention you should be using the 64-bit variant for collision resistance and the 128-bit variant for integrity.
