Well, making a massive assumption, if their intent was to imply a crash by turning their transponder off on their planned route, then immediately altering course. If they did this as a red herring, the idea is that they then trailed a jet to mimic it's radar path to further muddy the tracking abilities. The "why" would be because this was a well thought out stealing of a plane.
Again, massive assumption, and based on the distance between the two planes, which I believe was 30 miles, I don't even think it would fool any radar operators. I personally think it's a coincidence, but the above is the general reasoning behind the linked theory.
