I still don't see how the original headline was not truthful.

I think it's less about what was said (it is truthful) and more what isn't mentioned in the title which leaves ambiguity.

I don't necessarily think it's intentional. For those with knowledge in the field I suspect it resonates the appropriate reaction.

For those outside of the field, I think the perception of what being 2 organs means does a lot of leg work in invoking a response which seems exaggerated, but is probably caused by incorrect assumptions of what the title is trying to convey.

I hope that makes some sense, I feel that was a lot of word vomit but I'm struggling to find the right words, it's somewhat meta

It's as truthful and useful as "75.6% of humans who ingest oxygen end up dead".

That’s only wrong because it’s 100%.

Isn't it more like 93%? On the other 7% data is still inconclusive, they never died

Depends on if the study is ongoing
