Why this stamp.
- “A man who allegedly held a #CathayPacific Airways intern at knifepoint and injured him at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on Saturday evening was subdued and arrested by aviation police later that day, police said.” may be true only under conditions the headline skips — timing, who you are, or what “counts” as proof. The desk leaves room for those missing pieces instead of forcing a hard Real or No Proof.
- The claim rests on attribution, a soft verb, or an unfinished process rather than a closed fact on the record. That is unsettled coverage, not packaging alone and not a settled event.
- A fair desk leaves it Depends until the missing condition or second check lands. Readers get the stamp that matches the uncertainty in the piece.
