Does the average reader of science.org know what trichloroethylene is without a prompt?

>> A widely known basketball team wins NBA finals

> Depends on the audience i guess, im not sure i can name a basketball team.

It's bordering on tautology. After all, who else would win National Basketball Association finals - a soccer team? A more astute reader will also observe that NBA finals aren't something casually won by random teams nobody heard of - by the time they get to the finals, the team is already widely-known.

Equally informative, but non-clickbait version of the headline, would be "NBA finals complete" - or, for basketball fans, "Today is 18th of June, 2023".

I know of it as "dry cleaning chemical and why you don't want to buy a building which used to contain a dry cleaning shop with on-premises processing".
I read science.org, I’m pretty average, and I don’t know what it is.
