What if the cherry picked detail is the interesting detail worth discussing on hn?

  Ex post facto. We can't know that until after the discussion has happened--ergo, avoiding editorialization allows community interest to happen more naturally.

  The official answer is: then it will make a particularly interesting comment to add to the thread. The unofficial messy answer is: sometimes, let's say 10% of the time, there are exceptions.

  Yes, this was my reasoning. The most interesting thing of the article was the explanation why some companies wouldn't be eligible for aid - the fact that Denmark offers more aid isn't interesting, countries do that all the time now. However, excluding companies which use tax havens or pay out dividends is new. Besides, editorializing is expressing an opinion, which is not something this title is doing - or am I seeing this wrong?
