By principle of death of the author, Bem 2011 is a methodological warning regardless of what Bem says outside the paper.
As I said myself in the post! There is no disagreement on that, but there is an additional factor which I mentioned. The point was that if papers 1, 2, and 3 all display property A, while only 1 and 2 display property B, then 2 is prima facie more similar to 1 than 3.
You don't need to go so far as let the author be dead. Mere applicability theory will accomplish this.
