    I wonder if reading the article would explain why they are so mystified? Or even reading the little blurb OP pasted in the body of this post?

      I know it’s about the effects of one specific system. My post is more whining about clickbaity titles.

        What? It’s literally about not knowing what system or systems is causing this. There’s no clickbait. They are mystified. That is a fact.
