Another case of slimy headlining: writing "as" and hoping people hear "because".

This problem is widespread these days.

IMHO thee headline in the Spanish original article was badly worded too

"El mercado augura que El Salvador entrará en impago por haber convertido el bitcoin en moneda legal" https://elpais.com/america/economia/2022-05-09/el-mercado-au...

The problem that you are reading things that aren’t there?

Please, the phrasing is obviously meant to make the reader jump to conclusions.

The headline wasn't "El Salvador expected to default as Hacker News readers bicker about wording", even if that would have been equally true (and relevant?).
