I don't understand why you need to censor the author's title for him - obviously provocative and pompous titles will put the thread on tilt. If the author wants to be taken seriously when they write editorials especially about science presumably there should be some rigor involved in the process - not just headline grabbing euphemisms. If the author's editorial doesn't evoke substantive feedback - maybe that fault lies with their work rather than with the readers?
- dang 11y agoThat's an argument for not changing linkbait titles on HN at all, which would be a disaster for this place. (Btw, author usually don't write the headlines, so it's good to give them the benefit of the doubt on that.)
