My first thought was that this study might well point to one bit that 
may be accurate. Think of all the moms whose babies are doing poorly 
with feedings but are "on the breast all the time". These moms are 
indeed more likely to wean if things don't get sorted out than moms 
whose babies feed in ten minutes, are done, and feed again in a couple 
of hours. Also, one would then see more weight gain in those babies b/c 
they are actually feeding, and if so would empty the breast and signal 
milk production. Also, as Cathy Genna pointed out, one cannot follow 
the baby who is not competent to lead. There is also the issue of using 
weight gains as a measure of success--I only trust weight as a guide 
when the reference is derived form normally-birthed, exclusively 
breastfed infants. Any other baby cannot be an accurate reference for 
normal infant behavior.
