That study is just a mid study and Pelagius has stated the general conclusions about stylometrics, namely they are interesting but are so far removed from proving much that emphasis on them has been mostly abandoned.

Another coined phrase for them is "wordprint", but stylometrics is the academic term. In the end, the style of this study and others could be considered, "Much Ado About Nothing."
