How odd the use of “unpicking” in the headline. “Unpacking” would make more sense. Thinking it might be a Britishism, I looked it up in the Oxford dictionary...

Carefully analyse the different elements of (something), especially in order to find faults.
‘Elisabeth did not want to unpick the past’

I don’t get it.

Well it is not my title, probably the one who chose it is not primary in English.

I’m not good at any foreign language either.
