I agree that the title implies (or even declares) that it takes fewer than 21 days. I'd argue that the articles says that it does take those 21 days, plus many more, making the title deceptive.
- lolinder 1y agoExactly, English semantics dictate that if it takes more than 21 days it must first take 21 days.
- cco 1y agoThere is a very clearly implied only in the title. I agree that it should be included but it is unnecessary to convey the meaning imo.
- crazygringo 1y agoThere is not. I too assumed it must mean it takes less, otherwise there would be an "only", or "It takes more than".
