The point is that the article gives no context for their statistics. This is super common in science journalism.

For example, take the articles that came out after the vaping and heavy metal study came out. Vapes have heavy metals in them. Scary!

What they didn't mention was that the levels found were lower than atmospheric levels.

I'm the opposite. I literally never hear the slack notifications, and half the time my Taskbar icon doesn't show I have new messages. My volume is at a reasonable level to hear everything else. I'm not the only one at my job who has the issue either.
