Bias is a much more relevant charge when you are talking about assertions of fact. Arguments and analysis can be directly looked at and be accepted, partially accepted, or refuted. Who makes an argument doesn't really matter much. Who claims "X is true" does matter if all you have to go by are their statements. OTOH I do agree agree that demonstrating bias in the researches doesn't prove the study false. In fact, your Jane Galt links do not address the study's conclusions. Yes they do, at least janegalt.net, as do the links at Message 22907144 and the replies to that post. janegalt.net doesn't really directly address the concerns of the study only the acceptance of the studies writers as authorities who should not be questioned, or should not be questioned by anyone who doesn't have a relevant PhD combined with practical experience with such studies.
