We've updated the submission title to a representative portion of the sub-title. Your explanation is appreciated and we're not trying to be draconian about this, but we nearly always update titles when there are clickbait elements (singularity: "The X that ...", addressing the reader: "you") and complaints in the thread.
- tmuir 10y agoThank you. I can see now that my argument is largely equivalent to beating people over the head with logic, and simply shouting "logic!". My central point is that clickbait titles beat people over the head with what they were already predisposed to hear, which is bad. But my continued explanation in and of itself is the same insidious tactic. Thanks for your patience with me, and with all of us.
