You think the headline isn’t a violent superlative?

No, it isn’t. The media uses that term to describe any big strategic R&D project. Anyone that reads English language media would know this.

That’s not how it’s used, no. It’s also not a superlative, it’s a metaphor. Superlative would be something like “biggest” or “best”.
