I feel the article violated Betteridge's law of headlines

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...


A better formulation would be "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the null hypothesis.".

That is, instead of "no", say "it's nothing".

And many people here comment like it wouldn't. I guess you're so used to Betteridge's being true that you presume the answer in the article is "no".
