A good headline is a short summary of an article's content. What it doesn't supply is a hell of a lot in the way of context.

Seibel might be arguing that it's a good thing 1000s of people got killed in the Middle East by the rogue heads of 2 nuclear-armed, failed democracies, because it's likely to make the global economy grow. He might be arguing that it's a terrible thing, and the available data suggesting it will lead to growth in the global economy exposes a perverse incentive that the global community needs to address. Has anyone sought out the article to check what his actual point is, or are we all just throwing darts at his face based on decontextualised screenshots of a headline he probably didn't write himself (editors usually do that)?
