You mean the other article you claim exists amd supports your claim, yet
don't bother giving a link to? Why didn't you?
Even if such an article exists, which I don't believe does or you would
have been tripping all over yourself to link and quote from it, it still
doesn't help you because the title of an article is supposed to reflect the
contents of the articles contents. The article you quoted and linked to
did not support what you wrote in the subject, therefore your title was a
lie.
