No.
The article is very clearly questions the role of DNA evidence as a whole.
A couple of relevant quotes:
"Defence experts were trusting that the scientists had interpreted the data correctly. This perpetuated the myth that DNA is infallible."
"There's a considerable lack of understanding, not just from the public, but from the judges and lawyers."
This seems to be the author's opinion about what the article is about.
Make of it what you will. The article speaks for itself.
edit: BTW, it's a very interesting article - thanks for pointing it out.
