Whenever I see 'could' or any other modal verb in a newspaper article, I always reverse the sentence.
'This could not be the holy grail to replace palm oil' is equally true.
Journalism is a silly passtime.
Yeah, it's similar to this:

I call it "what if?" news.... so I basically I do the same thing you do, only instead of replacing "could" with "could not"... I just rewrite the sentence to start off with the words "What if", like this: "What if this could be the holy grail to replace palm oil".
Replacing "What if" with "IN A WORLD, WHERE..." and then doing in the movie trailer guy's voice works equally well.
Hell of a conclusion you’ve drawn there.
You’re right. It’s not silly for the rich folks who use the media to brainwash the public. They have everything to gain from pushing propaganda down the throats of everyone
So … no journalism is real? It’s ALL The Man?
