Yep, on purpose. The original title is misleading as well, presenting medium from a false view.
- dang 11y ago> Yep, on purpose That's an abuse of HN. We take submission privileges away from accounts that do this, so please don't do it again. The site guidelines ask you to change the original title when it is misleading or linkbait, but not by turning it into a sensational opinion piece. Cherry-picking a single detail at the expense of all the others is editorializing. Moreover your title went way beyond what that detail in the article justifies. All of this is what the HN guidelines try to prevent. I'm not sure I agree that the original title was misleading, but even if it was, the replacement must be accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article. If you have a tendentious point to make, you need to make it via a comment in the thread, on a level playing field with every other user.
