And mostly what I'm seeing isn't shit-stirring. It is confirmation bias based on the misleading or factually inaccurate title given to the article by the title editor's writing which is focused far more on getting clicks than on conveying information. Those misleading click-bait traps should not generally be used as part titles here because all they do is magnify the spread of misinformation.
