Talk Origins does not actually dispute the argument, but instead avoids an answer.

Here, the answer does not actually state whether "might makes right" is how it "ought" to be or not. More importantly, though, this answer confirms that up until now "might makes right" has been the accepted behavior. Stating that it "ought" to be another way requires an argument, not just a statement of its existence (and not even that, in this case).

Humans ensure this cooperation succeeds through might - those who do not cooperate are excluded, punished, or brought into submission through might. This argument does not dispute the claim that "might makes right", but is instead an example of one "right" that is made through "might". Cooperation is enforced.

Talk Origins has here failed even to address the basic argument. Evolution is a history filled with "might makes right", and if true, then we are born out of it. We are the offspring and products of "might makes right". Talk Origins claims that we must understand our history in order properly to determine behaviour, so they should not exclude the shaping of one portion of natural history while embracing another.
