    No, this headline is perfectly good. It’s got all the key details. The extra details would make the headline too long.

      The word “some” at the beginning of the headline would have been a perfectly acceptable qualification of the phrase which also would’ve better described the actual findings of the study.

        I disagree. It doesn’t say “all”. “Some” is kind of meaningless because it implies it’s something that has happened ever. Like most things within the realm of possibility.

        Not having the qualifier implies it’s a trend – neither a certainty nor a rarity.

        There are character limits. And conventions.

        The article has the details. The headline describes what will be in the article. For this article, it works.
