>> The article is about how learning styles are bunk...

Without citing any evidence or referencing a specific paper or study... I found the irony amusing.

I've found that explaining something in even a slightly different way can make it click for someone. If it were me, I'd advocate a variety of styles be used for everyone rather than try to identify an individuals most preferred. This would expose all of them to different ways of learning - I wonder if there's research showing that to be a good or bad thing.

What is ironic?

This was an article reporting on a letter which links to an organization funding the studies.

This is like being annoyed with an article about solar panel efficiency, that quotes a scientist, not referencing the scientists patents.
