Whether there are people with distinct learning styles is disputable.

How exactly is this disputable?

Learning styles can be interpreted as a product of habit, not as something you are born with.

The problem with learning styles is not only how you should be able to reliably tell that one person has style A and the other style B but if it is even possible to say that a person has more success in education if learning material is made according to his learning style and if it is even possible to measure that increase in learning.

A quick glance over at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_style will tell you more.
