          You posses extremely niche knowledge. Being catty because the headline doesn’t suit your preferences comes off as fairly rude and pretentious. Good for you for understanding that the headline is misleading, but there are more relatable ways to say that.

          Your reply reads to me as if you’re calling me disingenuous, which I can’t for the life of me understand. I’m not the author. I offered a possible explanation.
