I have a bit of an issue with their definition of a "Questionable" account. I mostly use twitter as a way to aggregate a stream of news from people I think are interesting and as such my following/follower ratio is about 10:1.

When the author says Questionable accounts had "4.2x more accounts than were following them" that's not that surprising as that was part of their (flawed?) classification to begin with but I don't think it says anything about them being a bot.
