Betteridge's law of headlines: "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

Can we just sticky this to the top of all posts with question marks so that we don't have to have it reposted every. single. time. ?

The trouble is, the law cuts both ways: "You can go out and spec a similar machine to the new Mac pro, but should you?"

So if we adopt the law wholesale, we can editorialize by reversing the premise we wish to imply.
