That and literally only one other sentence is everything Hawking said on the matter. I think he'd have written a paper if he had really looked into it.
There are some more realistic concerns at the end of the article though, that I do take seriously. Just not singularities.

I don't think Tyler is aware that we have already discussed this issue here. Sometimes she just gets carried away with her...research! ;)
