Stylometry of regular text can be fairly reliability defeated even by people who don't know how it works. It remains interesting because most people don't do that.
The code stylometry in the linked paper is interesting because it also looks at things likely preserved by stylers and linters: they parse the code and look at things like the depth of the abstract syntax tree, or the frequency of certain AST-node bigrams.
Obviously there's opportunity for a lot more research here. But compared to other variants of stylometry, this approach might be fairly robust
