There is some confusion around the article and it may be because of the way it is written. but here's a brief summary. Hope this helps to clarify:

* The theory/hypothesis is not saying avoid pronouns.

* It's about relative frequencies not absolute.

* The pronoun frequency is looked at in different scenarios:

   1. between two people who don't know each other 

   2. between two people who do know each other 

   3. pronoun frequencies of an individual in a diary, blog over a period of time.

* The frequency of pronouns in spoken or written language is an unconscious activity. It's something that is hard to fake, unlike body language.

* The words being compared/counted are primarily social identifiers vs determiners and articles.
