Again, I'm sorry but, that article is wrong with respect to applying variation..
There just is no way round it... doesn't matter if it's astro, navigation or whatever.. variation is applied by adding an easterly variation to a compass bearing to obtain a true bearing... True South is 180* T... a true bearing...
Not trying (but, probably succeeding) to start an argument but, it just is what it is... C A D E T... & True South is 180T...
