    The word “some” at the beginning of the headline would have been a perfectly acceptable qualification of the phrase which also would’ve better described the actual findings of the study.

      I disagree. It doesn’t say “all”. “Some” is kind of meaningless because it implies it’s something that has happened ever. Like most things within the realm of possibility.

      Not having the qualifier implies it’s a trend – neither a certainty nor a rarity.
