Do some research into the behavioral studies by most recognized sources and programs and you will see common themes and conclusions. The same things you mention here, are in every single study of behavioral analysis, recognition and interpretation - soooo, which is it? The stuff in your book and that you use playing cards is either effective, or junk science, so which is it? Be careful how quickly you answer though, because the answer you give indicates that the same statement holds for every other behavioral program (or study or card playing book, or interrogation manual, or interviewing technique manual) that uses these same types of behavioral observations and analysis.
