The problem with this article is that it's not really an unbiased view of the scientific literature; and the ArsTechnica author is not an expert (she has a Ph.D. in microbiology, but this really requires specialized knowledge of a virologist or infectious disease expert). ArsTechnica itself is also not unbiased.
No, but on the second page, they report on some studies which may be helpful in forming your own opinion.
I didn't see anything in those studies to change my opinion -- one very big problem I see with a lot of these studies is that they're looking at RNA, rather than infectious particles (or not even looking at infectious particles at all!)... RNA is going to be rather likely to detect, especially by RT-PCR, which detect even the smallest trace amount.
