I'm a huge fan of those kinds of "laws"¹. My favorite one is Conway's law². Having said that Betteridge's Law never really convinced me. As far as my gut is concerned it's just always true for one in two cases.

2: "[O]rganizations which design systems (in the broad sense used here) are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations."

Betteridge’s law needs allowances for cases where the issue at hand is opinion or speculation. In this case, the non-clickbait headline would be “Germany’s Gold isn’t Safe in New York”, but the facts aren’t there to go to press with that.
