Well, that's the same as saying "I don't believe in Science because it's just theories".
Argumenting-by-dictionary, about the words selected for the title - i.e. the form of only the title - says nothing at all about the quality or lack thereof of the actual content of the article itself.
Or to put things another way, you put forward a theory (the article is just speculation) and then tried to support it by argumenting about appearences (the presence or not of a very specific word) on something (the title) barelly related to the actual article much less the article's contents.
Not only is arguing that "the presence of a specific word in the title means the whole article is speculation" incredibly reductionist (mindbogglingly so), it's not even logical.
