Their first paper on rice theory was cited like 2000 times, so you can check if anybody debunked this theory. I haven't.
I was also surprised to see that this theory has been published in reputable journals (like Science and Nature Communications). So, odds are that critics haven't made strong arguments on this theory so far.
