  Betteridge's Law strikes again
  • consumer451 1y ago
    According to the Wikipedia entry, the "law" does not reflect reality upon inspection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headlines#Studies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...

      Cool! Seems to be citing this nice post here: http://calmerthanyouare.org/2015/03/19/betteridges-law.html http://calmerthanyouare.org/2015/03/19/betteridges-law.html I didn't realize the biggest reason against it is that the majority of headline questions aren't yes/no. Oh well, it's still funny to silently answer any (yes/no) headline question with "no!" before reading.

  True, but in this case the story is about the suspicions of cheating themselves, and the new checks, so fair enough.
