But that's not the title. That's a much stronger statement than the article. If you choose such creative ways to interpret people's words then you can make anyone sound dishonest or stupid.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoI can't speak for anyone else, but I also read the title as suggesting that Coca-Cola was generically opposed to plastic recycling. That's not what the title means formally, but that's what I took away. I suspect this was intentional. This is similar to how some people think it's clever to answer "yes" when asked an "X or Y" question where both X and Y are true. Technically, it's a correct answer, but it is not a response designed to engender a correct understanding of the situation in the listener's mind. I think the title would be just as punchy and less likely to mislead if it were "How Coca-Cola Undermines Bottle Deposit Efforts".
