Damnit, NJ5, you are one quick son of a ... "shut yo mouf"

Yes, the article is misinformed. Europe has the GS chip for the PS2, so the emulation is done half software, half hardware. Removing the GS chip would mean full software backwards compatibility, similar to what the 360 does for Xbox games.

I'm trigger happy today ;)

Yes, either that or no compatibility at all, which looks more likely right now...
