I had exactly the same article in mind when reading the OP one.

Exactly the opposite message. Who to believe?

They are not incompatible messages at all. This article says that SSDs delete stuff fast; the other says you can't reliably delete particular things. Basically, they're unpredictable. You can't reliably expect a particular file to be purged, and investigators can't expect data to stick around. So it might stick around, it might not, and no one has direct control.
