For them it is about the amount of content, not what the content is about.
Yes, it is assbackwards reasoning. The front page concept has a time-earned meaning to people and just arbitrarily redefining it doesn't work. Front page means "important" news, not minor uninteresting stuff like, say, the remote possibility of warp drives.

Quit whining like we're taking away your water supply. The links to these items are STILL on the FRONT PAGE including their headlines.
You are free to help us out by writing long items about these subjects. But I guess that's more difficult than being an armchair critic.

The question is what is 2 x 21
At least that's what my printer started spitting out one day in hexadecimal, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Now what does that mean? Either the drinking age in the US (and the "life" implications of what might happen after a night of said drinking), or nothing at all!

I completely disagree with their reasoning as to why things are on the first or second page.
For them it is about the amount of content, not what the content is about.
So ... if someone figured out the meaning of life and it took less than 50 words, despite the possibility that everyone might suddenly be happier than ever thought possible, it would go on page 2 just because there wasn't enough text in the article.
For example, the perfect answer is 42. We don't know what the question is but with an answer being 42 there isn't enough text to make it onto page one. So anyone that might know the question would be unlikely to look at page 2 and therefore wouldn't be able to let all of us know the question.
