I don’t see why this theory contradicts the one in the article, in your own examples you’re using bodily states as the input to emotional processes.

The fingerprint idea is that emotions are caused by body states without that layer of interpretation/construction, so you could look at bare metrics like blood pressure, arousal, and facial expression and derive which emotion the person must be feeling directly from them.
