While "we don't know" is not "no" I have found subjectively that Betteridge's Law of Headlines is accurate.
- sammorrowdrums 5y ago> In the field of particle physics, the concept is known as Hinchliffe's Rule, after physicist Ian Hinchliffe, who stated that if a research paper's title is in the form of a yes–no question, the answer to that question will be "no".[39][40] The adage led into a humorous attempt at a liar's paradox by a 1988 paper, written by physicist Boris Kayser under the pseudonym "Boris Peon", which bore the title: "Is Hinchliffe's Rule True?"(Peon 1988) worth reading the Wikipedia page just for gems like this.
