"This week we show how, even when analysts agree that someone could be a match for a piece of DNA evidence, the statistical weight assigned to that match can vary enormously."

This seems to be the author's opinion about what the article is about.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about this.

Make of it what you will. The article speaks for itself.

It does, and when it speaks, it speaks of different statistical methods for calculating the probability of a random match to partial DNA samples.

edit: BTW, it's a very interesting article - thanks for pointing it out.
