I assume boznz meant an entire (different) article could be written with that headline. One can certainly call this or the theoretical opposite article spin.


You could maybe write three sentences on "still a lot of Apache". It's the changes that you need to learn about.


I could certainly write a lot more than that on the topic, as could any decent writer. What one needs to learn about and one writes about is not necessarily the same thing. Again, I think the original comment here was more of a general statement about the manipulability of statistical analysis "articles".


You can write an article about anything in the world. But when it comes to statistical analysis then in a pretty objective sense there is only one interesting thing to say about this data. Despite theoretical ability to be manipulative, only one of these two angles qualifies as news.
