The author of the article perhaps, but it was written by a journalist and not the researchers, so I don't see why that would cast suspicion on the findings.

Though to be honest, I group anti-evolutionists in with the Flat Earth Society, Hollow Earth advocates, etc. etc. If you want to believe something despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, go right ahead, but you can't expect immunity from ridicule any more than I could if I went around insisting that the sun rotates around Earth.
