I could publish an article saying Elon Musk is going to die. It's incontrovertible, and likely the only fact you can say about his death, given in fact that he's not yet dead and going insofar as to agree that all people will die eventually. Do you think an article saying "Elon Musk is going to die" is not disingenuous?

If that is the entire content of the article and it has no context to which it is addressed, I think its pointless, but, no, I see no reason in your hypothetical or any obvious extension to see it as disingenuous.

I also don’t see it as particularly usefully analogous to the situation previously being discussed.

I already know Elon Musk is going to die, I didn't know what the maximum sentence this guy faced was though.

I mean, to me personally that sounds like a gimmicky title. Without putting why he is going to die, it sounds less factual and more like a blog post about how Elon Musk should learn to smell the roses because he isn’t getting any younger.

I get what you’re saying though. With sentencing, I feel like the maximum sentence is always given, and while dramatic it is very common to see.
