Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
A better rule of thumb would be to drive a sub with 2 - 3 times its rated RMS power. I have always done this and never popped a sub woofer.

The article is incredibly sensationalist.

The basis of their explanations are accurate enough, but for things to actually play out that way, you would think that they are talking about a pair of kids trying to intentionally kill a sub while making a youtube video about it or similar. For things to play out that way in the real world would require exceptional amounts of negligence, far beyond the point at which common sense would have taken a back-seat. It's also worth noting that most subwoofer drivers are built pretty tough, especially compared to many regular speaker woofers. Most can handle a fair amount of abuse just fine - and many can handle extreme amounts of abuse just fine.
Written for the kid that used to live next door to me with a two twelve sub in an 80's Camaro. He used to drive around listening to square wave all the time.
He asked me one day if I have any idea why his subs only work when the volume is way up and they stick where you push them?
I explained that the voice coils have been overheated and are now deformed and dragging in the gap, recone or scrap.
I think to myself at least I wont have to hear them for a while anyway.
Ever resourceful, he cut the dust caps off and drowns them with WD40, and they worked for another week. Sounded about the same too.

If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
