Which title? The HN/WaPo OP sas

WaPo: "Police keep using ‘excited delirium’ to justify brutality. It’s junk science."

HN: ‘Excited delirium’, used by police to justify brutality, is junk science

Both of which are accurate statements of the key point: There is a body of junk science based on the concept of ‘Excited delirium’, used to justify plice brutality.

The fact that there is something referred to as ‘Excited delirium’ that is not used for police brutality or junk science, doesn't make the title clickbait.

Astrology is junk science, despite the fact that the constellations do exist and that a person is born under a certain configuration of stars ar the location of their birth.
