Betteridge’s law of headlines still applies: When the headline is a question, the answer is no.

I can't make sense of bringing this in for this piece.

The headline of this piece is not really a question. Sure, there is a question in it. But it answers the question in the headline. . . .and that answer isn't "no." It's "it's not clear what the cause is."
