Yeah, obviously. The OP's point is that attributing the drop in CPU usage to PHP5 (which was the answer to the original Flickr poster's question) is non-obvious (or it is a plausible candidate among a bunch of possibilities).
If he wrote "how might one guess" instead of "how did you know" I'd say you were right. Occam's razor suggests it was a question directed at vaskel as to how he chose to title this item.
