Betteridge's law of headlines[1] says the answer is "No".

"Who will be the next CEO of Apple?"

"No."

Someone didn't think this law through...

Obviously it only works on yes or no questions.

Yeah, so the "law" as stated in the Wikipedia article is not correct.

> Like all similar "laws" (e.g., Murphy's Law), Betteridge's law of headlines is not always true.[3][4]

From the article.

"Is Betteridge's Law Always True?"
