That's actually kind of the tack the article takes: "most of the shit that's extinct never made a fossil, so the fossils we have don't represent most of the shit." it does finish with "so should we still worry about extinction?" to which the answer is "hell to the yes." To your point, the article doesn't quite support the article.
