A simple example is 3 or 4 sentences, not 5 paragraphs.

He didn't address what it means for the economy. What happened last time the yield curve inverted? The last 10 times? The headline implies recession by referencing 2007, is there a valid statistical correlation?

Where is that rule written? Where did those particular numbers come from?

You want the answer trimmed down to 3 or 4 sentences, but you also want answers to multiple new questions. Which one would you rather have?

I don't want anything. I'm just holding the top comment to its author's own standards that he voluntarily stated in his first sentence.

Can you get it into three sentences? That do not assume the reader knows any financial jargon?
