Unfortunately, that law doesn't stand up to scrutiny. I've read several stories today alone where the question in the headline cannot be answered accurately with a simple "no", not that this headline is one of them.

The unfamiliar? This article is referenced on HN at least once a week now

And for a good reason. I find the noise to signal ratio of these articles relatively high and I think many would like to see less of them.

I knew about the law, but I didn't know its name!

Headline:

"Perhaps Betteridge's Law of Headlines is always true?"
