I think the author claims the XPath is more "robust" because it doesn't depend on indexes of the elements so you can add elements without breaking the XPath. (But it is arguable which one is better ...)

It depends on the content of the HTML document but I agree with you.
I tried running the algorithm in Chrome. It output much shorter XPath than one copied from Chrome Developer tool.
e.g. "//*[@id="rso"]/div[4]/div/div[1]/a/h3" => "//*[contains(text(),'(text of the element)')]"Comment · 6 years ago
The algorithm described in the paper is outlined as follows (just for my curiosity):
"The algorithm starts with a generic XPath locator that returns all nodes (‘//*’) and then it iteratively refines the locator until only the element of interest is selected. In such iterative refinement, ROBULA+ applies seven refinement transformations, according to a set of heuristic XPath specialization steps."
The algorithm seems to be a specialized heuristics for XPath generation.

The Hypnotherapy is interesting. But the Wikipedia page [1] says "there was insufficient evidence to support its efficacy."
And in the research paper, there are also statements like "the current evidence is limited" [2], "it is unlikely hypnosis will be helpful to all clients" [3] or "the number of patients enrolled in the studies has tended to be low and lacking long-term follow-up" [4].
So, I think for some people Hypnotherapy may work. But it may be risky to pay a lot of money upfront for the therapy.
