    That’s not really what they’re saying. Instead, they’re saying that it’s obvious which commenters only read the headline.

      Which is due to the headline being phrased in the same way as the commonly used Reddit theme of AITA. It makes it seem as if the OP is asking the question, rather than it being the headline of an editorial.
