Two Wallets Increase Your Privacy - O.S.P.E.A.D with ArticMine & Duke Leto

RULE 1: Only give out stealth addresses (starting with an 8...) to your Incoming wallet.
RULE 2: Always make a new stealth address for different people/services. For example, don't give the same address to two different exchanges, that hurts your privacy.
RULE 3: Only send out out funds from your Outgoing wallet. Never give out any addresses from this wallet, ever!
RULE 4: The only time you send funds out of Incoming is to "top up" funds in your Outgoing wallet. Never send funds to a third party from your Incoming wallet, ever!

If the advantage of 2 wallets is one more hop, is it any better than just churning? I can understand the benefits of using different address for different purposes.

By separating the incoming and outgoing wallet, you not only add an additional intermediate step that helps the anonymity of the entire network, you also consolidate the enotes, i.e. the transactions. If you top up the spending wallet with the income wallet as soon as it is almost empty, you are taking this step naturally and not artificially for the purpose of mixing. It's discussed verbally in the video, ArticMine just adds that for KYC transactions it might make sense to add another rule to this practice.
