The article suggested using the hoodie to cover enough of the graphic on a T-shirt to draw the potential viewer's attention to trying to see the rest of it. The author didn't seem to place high confidence that an uncovered T-shirt would hold one's attention sufficiently (any T-shirts with graphics strong enough to do so would probably be largely inappropriate for me to wear.)
I agree that keeping attention from the belt line is the goal the author was recommending, but he only described one way to achieve it, and that way just isn't practical in the situation I had mentioned previously.
In my case, the cowboy hat that I wear pretty much everywhere seems to get enough attention that it may be fulfilling that goal without my having even thought of it, given the number of compliments I get on it around here.
I didn't read the linked article very thoroughly, but I think you may have missed the point of the article. Wearing a hoodie just happened to be his cover garment, the point was his shirt was the thing that brought the attention point up and away from the gun's position.
