Trees reproduce, fall, catch on fire, and do many things other than just stand there. Was there not a famous evolutionist who said a monkey would eventually type the 23rd Psalm if given a typewriter, paper, and enough time?
The same principle applies here. So here's how the article conclusion might read in relation to cabins...
The heat generated by an impact produces local tree falling. These start off hot, thus favouring fires and the formation of many different structures. They then cool over the centuries to the point where these individual trees, branches, and limbs can fall in more complex formations. And they also have lots of microscopic nooks and crannies with space for animals to burrow, and interesting chemicals in them, enticing for bugs to excavate and for birds to nest in. Eventually, given enough time and chance...viola! Log cabin!

They do not, however, do the things that are required to make a log cabin. And once more, where are the self-reproducing log cabins?
