    then title should read:

    New research has found that youth who are prescribed stimulants to treat their ADHD are not more or less likely to become addicted to drugs later in life

    accuracy matters.

      The headline doesn’t mention that second half. You are talking about inferred meaning, which is actually interesting. Does inferred meaning make something inaccurate? Because, I inferred from the title that it was simply debunking a myth and setting things at a base level. Genuine question, how do you plan for that and how far would you take it?
