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.

which I also agree with. it's... not a great article. I feel like whomever wrote it got to the end and was like "I feel like I contradict myself here. welp, I spent a bunch of time writing this so I'm going to post it anyways.""so should we still worry about extinction?" to which the answer is "hell to the yes."
