Nonsense. It's when the details are actually correct that you get a clue.
A test involving selected excerpts is, in my opinion, rather pointless. I believe I can usually tell whether the writer is a man, a woman, or something else.
I recently read a book written by a man and woman team. It was painfully obvious who wrote which parts.
The odd names that hide gender almost always belong to women authors.
