No.

Betteridge's Law of Headlines states: Any headline that asks a question can be answered with No.




I'm guessing you're getting downvotes from people who are sick and fucking tired of reading the same trite comment quoting betteridge.


Perhaps the title should be changed then. If it has become something that is so well known and reviled, even when pointed out, then maybe we should change that. Perhaps a script that edits these titles out? I think Betteridge's law is true maybe 80% of the time (sorry no data here). If so, then thats enough to just screen out the bait titles.
