Learning reading comprehension helps, too. No issues for me understanding what they meant with that headline. And I'm not even a native English speaker.
Now if it were a sentence like "buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" I'd understand your problem with it.

Jim Steinman wrote Meatloaf's best work, but Jim Steinman wasn't twelve people.
Proof that you're wrong:
* "Jim Steinman" is twelve characters.
* Most people in the music industry could be described as "characters".
* Therefore "Jim Steinman" is twelve people in the music industry.

I thought the first impossible phrase that jumped out at me was "Meatloaf's best work".
