No. The word "knowingly" brings human motives into what would have otherwise been a simple statement of fact.
Adding the word "knowingly" means either that someone knew the data was faulty yet allowed it to be published anyway, or falsified the data for some reason, and now has been discovered. It could also mean that a third party did the discovering. It's impossible to tell whether it was an honest mistake or a conspiracy of some kind from the headline.
A proper headline would have read:
Don't feel bad, such headlines are typical of the dumbed-down "journalists" who "write" for newspapers these days. Their college degrees are equivalent to what people of my generation (I'm 55) learned in grade school, as I point out every day to the 20-nothing graduates I work with, who don't know the speed of light, how many sqare inches are in a square foot, whether the Korean War was before or after WWII, or which is bigger, 1/3 or 1/4.
Don't get me started...
