    If a headline is phrased as a question, i.e. “Will X takeover the world this month?”, then the answer is always no, because if the answer was yes they would have written “X will takeover the world by the end of the month” which is a much more declarative and attention grabbing headline.

    Similarly, if a headline says something “could do X” that means it won’t because if it was going to the reporter would have written that it “will do X”.

      Described well. Link to the relevant wikipedia article:

      Headline: Studies show French toast may cause cancer.

      Then again, it may not.

        Why are you picking on the French? If I had my guess, I would assume Texas toast would be worse in that regard. Lol

        Since it contains burnt byproducts, it probably does. Like 0.001% more chance of cancer per toast per hour or something.
