The study has limitations (only 6 subjects, the exercise amount you mentioned, the outcome measure), but I think we can agree that it is the first documented clinical trial attempting to provide an anabolic dose response to protein supplementation that goes beyond opinion.
Also, send an email to the authors with those concerns. Authors want feedback to help create better study designs in the future. Stuart Phillips is receiving the feedback for this study (phillis@mcmaster.ca). I sent one for another issue, and I wouldn't want to take credit for your point.
