No that wouldn't be a better headline. Doing that to everything sounds awful. Decent articles are much more valuable than tweet sized factoids, if you reduce them to facts without context you end up in a really bad place. Statements of fact with no supporting work are powerfully scary.
- rlpb 9y ago> Statements of fact with no supporting work are powerfully scary. You're arguing against a strawman. The post you're replying to didn't say anything about removing the supporting work.
- mrkurt 9y agoThe implication is that a more thorough headline will tell you everything you need to know without having to read the article. Incidentally, I don't think posting to point out logical fallacies is all that useful. Feels great, adds nothing.
- fwdpropaganda 9y agoDid I say "to everything"? Or did I say to list articles?
- mrkurt 9y agoNeither ... but this isn't a list article in the bad sense, either. I doubt many throwaway lists get on the front page.
- freehunter 9y agoYou're implying that you said for list articles specifically, but in no way did you say that in the comment that's being replied to.
