This might be the only exception to Betteridge's Law.

  I hate lazy heuristics like Betteridge's Law. The only thing it accomplishes is to make writers think 'hmm... if I'm going to explore this topic I should restate my title in some form other than a question so idiots won't skip it because it's a question.'

    >The only thing it accomplishes is to make writers think 'hmm... if I'm going to explore this topic I should restate my title in some form other than a question so idiots won't skip it because it's a question.' Which would result in more accurate, less biased and clickbaity headlines. I don't see the problem.

    Yeah, that's sort of the point, isn't it?

    That sounds like an excellent accomplishment if so.
