| Betteridge's law of headlines
|
| > Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any
| headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the
| word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British
| technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the
| principle is much older. It is based on the assumption that if
| the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they
| would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a
| question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or
| not.
