The tiny dark stars aren't black holes (according to Chapline). So the Hawking evaporation process isn't relevant to them.

Maybe.

Perhaps that could be the basis for a laboratory test one of these days.

From reading the article, I get the feeling these guys have never heard of Hawking, let alone read his work. I'm not saying they're wrong (that would be awfully presumptuous of me), but the article certainly doesn't explain how they discount Hawking's black hole work so readily. For one thing, Hawking worked out how information could be maintained within a black hole by examining it in multiple dimensions.
