No, I totally understand what you're saying and agree with you. But from my perspective, it sounds like a lazy critique of the article not having the info you wanted when it's in an article linked in the first paragraph.
Maybe I'm out of pocket here, but I'm so used to people criticizing articles because they didn't bother to read them/linked articles that directly answered the complaints provided. I definitely agree that they should have included it in the actual article (or better yet, if OP just linked to the guardian article directly), I just get frustrated seeing people complain about lack of information when it's literally just a click away.
