additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: The framing relies entirely on headline-as-claim substitution: no credibility signals (author, source, data) are present, yet the title functions as a de facto assertion. What feels oversized is the implied authority of the statement; the tension lies between the clinical weight of the claim and the total absence of validation — not just missing citations, but missing everything.
