Haven't read the article yet since I have a test I'm supposedly studying for, but it sounds like broscience to me. As I demonstrated through logic above, weight training will cause a far greater requirement for muscular repair. Maybe they're factoring in an increase in metabolism? Which is largely tied to genetics and diet in the first place.
Either way, that's why I had recommended that people do both cardio and strength training, but to focus on the strength training.
