The paper took something out of context, didn't really understand what it reads and published nonsense.

It actually raises a point for a specific use-case, when a computer with an SSD is taken for analysis (f.ex. a court case as evidence by the police) the SSD is kept powered off and may lose its data and thus be worthless as evidence after some time if the system is not kept in a normal temperature (around 25C). It's not a normal use-case and in fact it may be to the benefit of the user to use an SSD in that case in the hope that the data will self-destruct with complete plausible deniability.
