It's extremely aggravating that this article assumes the existence of Hawking radiation directly implies the real loss of information in black holes. There's been some work, probably covered in this magazine, on how information may escape black holes via Hawking Radiation.
This triggered my complete layman understanding as well, as this idea of information being destroyed, yet not annhialited via its anti-particles, or just being added to the mass of the singularity sounded like a logical misattrubution. there are so many places for it to "go." Everything else has turbulunce, especially during energy transtions, intuitively there seems like no obvious reason to expect gravity is exempt.
