arXiv:2604.26460v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Stylistic personalization - making LLMs write in a specific individual's style, rather than merely adapting to task preferences - lacks evaluation grounded in authorship science. We show that grounding evaluation in authorship verification theory transforms what benchmarks can measure. Drawing on three measurement traditions - LUAR (a trained authorship verification model), an LLM-as-judge with decoupled trait matching, and classical function-word stylometrics - we evaluate four inference-time personalization methods across 50 authors and 1,000 generations. The theory-grounded metric (LUAR) provides what ad hoc alternatives cannot: calibrated baselines (human ceiling 0.756, cross-author floor 0.626) that give scores absolute meaning. All methods score below this floor (0.484-0.508), exposing an authorship gap invisible to uncalibrated metrics. The three metrics produce near-zero pairwise correlations (|r| < 0.07), confirming that without theoretical grounding, metric choice determines conclusions - an LLM judge declares a clear winner while LUAR finds no meaningful differentiation. These findings demonstrate the theory-benchmark cycle in action: authorship theory exposes evaluation failures that ad hoc benchmarks miss.
