That is literally the exact thing that I thought too. Its interesting that a sentence like this can be so easily misinterpreted by multiple people in the same way.
- ryanar 9y agoThe brain has multiple indicators for this misinterpretation. Stars early on in this sentence, narrows down context, Born in makes us even further think of a human star aka celeb, Pairs is capitlized, making us think it is a proper noun, the brain also doesnt read the middle letters of words if you remember that word jumbled experiment where you can still read it. All of this combines together to make the brain on first glance say Paris and not pairs
- janwillemb 9y agoIsn't it the capitalization of the first characters of each word which causes the confusion? New evidence that all stars are born in pairs versus New Evidence That All Stars Are Born in Pairs I've never understood the rationale of capitalizing headlines this way anyway (is it the American way?)
- obmelvin 9y agoYes, titles of things (including but not limited to visual art, written works, songs) are generally all capitalized except for small words
