The headline of the article is a rhetorical question, one that the article itself then answers in detail. It's a very common device.

Yes, it is a common clickbait tactic. Also, rhetorical questions, by definition, don't get answered. If it's rhetorical then the article content is pointless? I don't see why this bothers you all. Saved me a click so I appreciate the comment.
