It's a really sad commentary on our society, and specifically the HN community, when a headline framed as a question (a no-no in Journalism 101) gets traction. Great response.
I agree the headline does read like that of a fluff piece, but the article is considered, and it does quantify & address the question in the headline. I guess what I'm saying is that if your attention is grabbed by the headline, then you won't be disappointed by the article - in this case.
