This is akin to saying that because we don't know how to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics, that we know nothing about physics. One can admit there's still a lot left to learn about a field while acknowledging the fundamentals might be reasonably well understood.
Are you claiming we understand the fundamentals of consciousness? ... I don't think that's remotely credible; and even the article doesn't make such a strong claim.
