Thanks Giacomo for the link.
Here's what I found as the best critique of the Science article: http://gunther-eysenbach.blogspot.ca/2013/10/unscientific-spoof-paper-accept...

Interesting article from Science about the new boom of low-level journals, most of which are OA. Despite the clear disclaimer at the end ("everyone agrees that open-access is a good thing"), the article's mood is quite skeptical about OA, although the conclusions could maybe have been drawn also for non-OA low-level journals (but the author didn't test them).
