  The general pattern holds, but to be fair, this one seems like it could best be answered with “Maybe”.

    I think the important observation of the "law" is that headlines are generally only phrased as a yes/no question when there isn't sufficient support for just stating them as a statement. "Can jellybeans cure cancer?" no, almost certainly not, or the headline would be "evidence jellybeans can cure cancer".
