From reading this thread, it seems like most people are saying that

I agree. Yellow woodworking glues are weak when filling gaps. A
properly fitted joint features smooth surface mating to smooth
surface.

The biscuit failures I've had all involved the biscuit sliding out of
the slot.

Which makes me wonder what adhesive the article used (I
haven't seen that particular mag. sold in this country).

Standard woodworking glue, just like most woodworkers.

Can't you just use a stronger adhesive?

Epoxy would probably work well, but it adds other complexities.

Use urethane glue. Holds like crazy.
