The hypothesis being discussed is "serif fonts are more readable". This article is saying there is no evidence supporting that hypothesis.

Well, no. Now we know what we don't know, rather than assuming we do know something. And when we specify one font over another we can say honestly "Because I like it" rather than dishonestly "Because science tells us it's best".
