I can't say I disagree or agree with the concept of these newer loading bars yet, but I'd really like to see citations or any references for just about everything in this article. Is this all just based on your assumptions of what confuses users? Or is this an area you've done research in?

This blog entry is based on my personal experience in the field of user experience. I have not done research on a university level. I do have a lot of discussions regarding the distractions of user interface with non-technical users which exactly get confused by such behaviors. That is why I can't link any citations and studies.
