That's a better title than my submission but sadly over the limit for HN titles.

I started with the original title of "In an Absolute State: Elevated Use of Absolutist Words Is a Marker Specific to Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal Ideation" and cut words until it fit.

I think opensourcenews was just pointing out that "is" (in the article title) is more absolutist than "can be".

Good catch! I really shouldn’t post before I have had my morning coffee.
