“If your article can be summarised as ‘No.’ don’t write it.”

AKA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline...

"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word 'no'"

However I don't think it really applies to this article. It may be considered a weak article, but it's not a "no" article (which would be stronger anyway)
