typical bait question that takes you to a super long and convoluted article

  The mis-quoted headline here doesn't help at all. Currently on HN: "How to Cure Cancer". The actual headline: "Tough Medicine - A disturbing report from the front lines of the war on cancer." The HTML <title> is indeed "How to Cure Cancer". I wonder if it was changed?

    My bet would be that it was a placeholder title while they were finalizing editing the piece.

    It was the HTML doc title, always a legit candidate for original title on HN. In this case, baity though, so we've changed it to one of the alternates.
