Yeah, I'm afraid I won't be convinced either. In fairness I didn't read the article but the title is silly.
Last Saturday night I went flying and cracked the back of my head hard on the ice. Everyone one the ice and bench stopped for a second. I got up with no real ill effects but a slight headache for the rest of the night. It would have been quite serious had I not had a helmet on, of that I have absolutely no doubt.
I'm not saying a helmet can or ever will take concussions or any other serious head injuries out of the game completely but to say they do nothing is utterly ridiculous.
