As mentioned in the blog the tree is trying to go dormant for the winter and if there is a early hard freeze you are exposing the pruned branch to that which may in turn case the branch to severely die back or altogether die. Another reason is that it takes almost 2-3 months for a tree to go completely dormant thus you are putting the tree at risk pruning in the fall.
