Haven't read that, but I'm very inclined to doubt it, given the vast number of studies, and just common sense and experience.
Sometimes Bicycling obscures the point of a study in their blurbs. Are you sure the study doesn't say you produce more power pulling up, and pushing down, than just pushing down?
