Rule of thumb for reading "X may have Y" heds: mentally finish it with "then again, it might not."

This is just a question hed in disguise.

I usually equate this article verbage to the same as if the title is a question it's more than likely a "no". Posturing a hypothetical that can't necessarily be proven usually means it's a negative. (Read:no)

Question heds by definition have "no" as an answer. If you've done the reporting to answer the question, the copyed ain't writing a fucking question hed. We're going to be declarative. And when there are enough holes in a story, putting it on the spike is rather easy.
