Communication is not programming; every statement is not intended to be taken completely literally. When someone says "species go extinct" there is the subtext "... due to humans destroying their ecosystem." It is not necessary to say that every time, because that would make the the cost of communication too high. Humans depend on having a common ground of shared assumptions to communicate effectively. This is why people do not respond to this headline the way you think they should, and why people who act as if they are not able to read the subtext of a statement are described as autistic.
