When Question Marks Become Clickbait: Rethinking Betteridge's Law

Does every question mark deserve a Betteridge?

I explore why headlines ending in question marks often invite cynical rejections known as Betteridge's Law. While the internet rewards overconfidence and aggressive titles, I argue that genuine questions deserve a place in discourse. The real issue isn't the question mark itself, but when it falsely suggests a debate where none exists. We should resist the urge to dunk on every inquiry and instead demand that titles accurately signal the content's true uncertainty.
