I think the emphasis here is on "some". Because the history of social interaction is rife with misinterpretation of physical cues and inability to match correctly a person's posture to their motivations.
I think a more correct conclusion based on the evidence will be:
There is evidence that you CAN judge some aspects of the book by some aspects of it's cover though there are moderate chances of you being wrong until you read it.
Though that doesn't sound as exciting, does it?
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
