Precisely, and there is extensive precedent (including in court decisions relating to allegedly inaccurate headlines) for article titles to be generalising if the reality is explained in the body.

Officially allowed or not it doesn't stop the media calling Bob Geldof Sir Bob. Sir Jimbo has quite a nice ring to it so you can guarantee the press would use it.
