This article seems to measure something orthogonal to learning styles, namely that multiple styles combined and variety/novelty also play a key role.

Can someone explain to me what the data in this article has to do with learning styles as they're commonly thought of?

The concept of "learning styles" is something _we_ invented. It's not as if it has any intrinsic reality as a category, at least until we demonstrate it does.

This article is arguing (rightly) that it's not a useful way of thinking about how people learn. Or, at least, obscures the reality of how people _actually_ learn and makes it more difficult for us to explore that reality.
