Quite the funny headline. It initially made me think that someone had come up with some sort of quantitative measure of the situational awareness of traders, and was claiming that there was an increase in traders making dumb trades that misread the situation or something.

Ironically, I would describe this selloff as an increase in situational awareness.

Ha yes it definitely reads like an Onion headline.

Well, effectively that is kinda what it is saying, although it's the situational awareness of one particular trader it's referring to. The situational awareness of Citadel who scooped up their portfolio at fire sale prices seems quite good!

I would definitely be interested in seeing someone come up with some kind of “situational awareness” index, to evaluate how much the market actually knows about what it’s investing in.

It'd only really work retrospectively, but would be quite fun to see. Especially ones that investigate previous bubbles.
