19. I still think it does not warrant changing the headline of a linked story.

If you are going to do that then you ought to also at least present the alternative interpretation. You say, "Don't just read the headline." but all you presented as an interpretation of the story was your headline which contained your subjective interpretation of the data. That seems a little misleading, to say the least.

On edit: And I would note - you presented the raw data without reporting the margins of error. You really can't defend that.
