So Claude repos are statistically more likely to have stars than the average GitHub repo. Not the conclusion the headline was going for.

But the header is just "90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars". No conclusion, just some random fact.

The problem is that this title is editorialized, and the fact is cherry-picked. Why not =0? Why not >1000? This is just a dashboard, it highlights "Interesting Observations", but stars statistics is not there.
