Probably wrong, though cant get the original article due to paywall. This has been suggested before and is not needed, any autocatalytic process with a negative feedback loop (e.g. one enantiomer inhibiting production of the other or using the other as feedstock) will end up with just one enantiomer surviving.

You are correct, but I think they’re going one step further and proposing a mechanism via a weak nuclear interaction that is non parity preserving. But I may have missed something.
