Suddenly everyone is an expert on the logistics of running an empire! Is it so hard to believe that women were in positions of real power there, especially when men were overwhelmingly occupied with warfare? If you read the article you find she later ran the whole shop. It's not dishonest at all, quite the opposite, as the scholar in the article notes, it is dishonest to _downplay_ the role women had in running and expanding the empire. They just weren't riding to battle.

May I suggest that before looking down on others like this, it is wise to make sure you've been careful when reading the thing? The article contains no such claim. Most likely, you are mixing up Töregene and Börte.
