I have a theory that most players are only capable of noticing and remembering how maybe two or three opponents are playing.

Remember to factor in that many players tend to play the same. They just aren't really that different to really worry about the very minor subtleties.

I think there is an enormous amount to be said for being so nondescript and boring that no one thinks about you at all.

True to a point. Eventually, even the live ones will realize the tight rock at the table. They also, through repetition, tend to remember the guys who seem to always cash out with some sugar.

I am pretty quiet at the table, and play pretty tight. More than a few times I've had the table joker point out that I have entered the pot (usually with a raise) and say something like "uh, oh, gotta watch out, HE raised!". And ya know what? People still call. The joker might call just cos he wants to gamble and/or cos he might wanna put a beat on the "rock." Others call because...well, because they like to call.
I would never say to pass up a legitimate way to increase EV, but imho, this article's tactics would be more just to lighten things up and have fun and create a less serious image (which may or may not help EV) than to get value.
I do think the article is pretty much filler, but not too bad.
