Inflammatory? Not at all.. it grabs my attention, like any good reporter knows. Half of "how good your story is" is in the title.

For your metaphor:


If I took a survey that said...

[] I have murdered someone today.
[] I haven't murdered someone today.

If one person responded that they HAD been a murderer today, but there had been no homicides, I could have a story title: "Study suggests that people lie about murder!"

Are you certain that Astrocloud isn't on to something?

Sorry if this seems hurtful or pretentious -if you can't talk about it without being defensive then perhaps there might be some truth to it.
