I think this was a "demonstration of effect", rather than a test.
It was intended to show what a post from Ed would look like, if
it used a sig separator. And what it would look like without one.
Since the sig in this case, is a single line, and two characters,
it's not a big deal.
For people with signatures the size of New Jersey, then yes,
using a sig separator would be preferred by other respondents.
As then, there's a mess to clean up, and automating the cleanup
of an unnecessarily long signature is appreciated.

Yes, I rather resent his pages and pages of barely-comprehensible stuff
- but at least it is, as you point out, below a proper separator, so
gets cut automatically from any followup. (Not that I often follow him
up.)

.... unlike other legal systems the common law is permissive. We can do what we
like, unless it is specifically prohibited by law. We are not as rule-bound
and codified as other legal systems. - Helena Kennedy QC (Radio Times 14-20

Overlong "signatures" are rude and annoying, even with a delimiter. They
still have to be endured the first time. People should try to stay close
to the four line rule, regardless.
