I guess it depends on where you would put your faith.
I may have mis-read that study you put up but it seems to mention the energy in the Meal, although the energy exists I don't know of any comercial biodiesel producers that are using a process that gets biodiesel from anything other than the oil pressed from the seeds, but I've been wrong before and I'm sure I will be again.

And you can still find scientists claiming that human activity has no relationship to global warming. But, as with global warming, the vast majority of studies in this case come to a similar conclusion, that biodiesel production creates a signifcant net energy gain.
