Street Rodder Magazine is NOT always correct. It is written by humans and we make errors. Also, there are some folks who think they know more then design engineers, will try to do it incorrectly. SS is not made to double flare. It is too hard and will split if you try to double it over on itself. You need to use AN style fittings (or specialty fittings like Swage-lok or Parker). CS brake tubing is made to double flare and to use standard automotive fittings. But, it too will split if compressed too tightly at the bend.
