    That is not the obvious interpretation, and the headline (and description added by OP) are deliberately written to imply something that’s not true.

          It’s the text in-between the two.

          The text written by the OP is a rhetorical question about what I quoted, not a description. To read it you had to read the quoted text too, or decide to skip it for some reason.
