"It" as in the actual title they used? It was damn clear, it didn't need any clarification aside from the data source and the starting point of the measurement.

"It" as in the actual title they used? It was damn clear, it didn't need any clarification aside from the data source and the starting point of the measurement. "It" as in their intended title? It obviously didn't match what they wrote, hence the "clarification". Not particularly different from how politicians frequently "clarify" that by X they actually mean not-X... Riddle me this: imagine your convince your spouse to pour all your joint savings into a $1M home because its value will hit 5%+ growth by the year's end. And then at the end of the year it turns out your home is now worth $500k, after briefly dipping down to $400k in Q3. On a scale of 1 to 10, exactly how amused do you think your spouse would be to find out you actually meant "annualized quarterly growth rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent"?
