This is definitely a case where the rule of taking the headline verbatim is annoying - like most of CNN, it seems to communicate very little actual information.

I've basically stopped believing any science headline from a major mainstream news source. CNN? MSNBC? Fox? Huffpo? Don't even bother, they're misinterpreting the science deliberately. Dat clickbait.

At least this article is better than CBS 60 Minutes lately. Their version would be something like, "Jeff Bezos pioneers a way to translate your brain waves into drone deliveries, and there's no need to worry about the NSA viewing your order history." Sponsored by ads for gerontology medications.

I think it's a headline editor feeling just a little too clever. Spine stimulation... 'shocker'... Get it?

I changed it to take out the sensationalism. If anyone suggests a more accurate title, I can change it again.
