- gjm11 9y agoI think a more accurate version of Betteridge's law says: when a headline asks a question, the answer is always the less surprising answer. It just happens that usually the more attention-grabbing way to write the headline is the one that makes "no" the less surprising answer. The Betteridge-compliant version of this article would have been titled "Can we do without the C++ preprocessor?".
