When you start calling five sigma events "click-baity" you may find others asking legitimate questions about your ability to assess what is significant.
Encountering a headline that tries to get people to read the article is a roughly zero-sigma event. That's the purpose of a headline, and has been for about 150 years. Retailers also sell things for more than they paid for them and supply chains are hard. If you can understand what a five sigma event is, you can understand these things as well.
