You don't understand. The point is that the title implies a claim (that "The Hill" endorses it) that the article denies (it doesn't). The title is click-bait.

- Loquebantur 2y agoThe point here is people succumbing to confirmation bias and circular reasoning. That article is no simple 'clickbait'-nonsense. Objectively, importance is judged via cumulative consequences over time. The event of contact with non-human higher intelligence can hardly be over-stated in that regard. Being made fools of by your government to such a degree, you would risk missing a potentially world-changing event, is also quite something.
