The accident merited only a small paragraph in the local paper.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My confusion with sentnece results from the word "merited" .
Mu understanding is:
The fact that the accident got a small paragraph in the local paper is regretable and not satisfying; it deserved to have got more paragraphs of coverage. (a tone of regretfulness)
Is my understaning right?
