Betteridge's law[1] of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is named after Ian Betteridge, a British technology journalist who wrote about it in 2009, although the principle is much older.[1][2] The adage fails to make sense with questions that are more open-ended than strict yes–no questions.
