Show me where it is listed as a basic principle of writing. That should be easy, right?
I'm not asking you to present anything else. Don't get off on a tangent.
You made the statement that it was wrong to list a headline like that. You gave this "law" as the basis for stating it was wrong. You stated that it was a journalistic principle that had been followed for a long time. I'm just asking you to show that to be true.
Are you saying you're unable to find that writing headlines with leading open ended questions is a journalistic faux pas, and has been for quite some time?

I'm saying that you have not supported your own statements, and I have asked you repeatedly to show schools of journalism teaching this as a journalistic principle.
Why should I be going to find support for your statements?
