The dissonance between that title versus the actual contents completely destroys what would otherwise be an interesting, albeit not especially remarkable read.

The dissonance between that title versus the actual contents completely destroys what would otherwise be an interesting, albeit not especially remarkable read.
The article itself makes no attempt to live up to the title, and in fact downplays it throughout the whole thing, almost as if admitting "yes, I got you to click, now here's a fairly normal article."
edit: 2nd paragraph is my mistake, it's the HN title that I'm critical of, not the article title.
- timthorn 9y agoThe article title seems quite measured: "Could cows be the clue that leads to an HIV vaccine?"
- scotu 9y agoThe HN title is "Cows have shown an 'insane' and 'mind-blowing' ability to tackle HIV" as I post this comment, which is probably why @theprotocol had that impression
- theprotocol 9y agoYep, it was my mistake. I believed when I wrote my response that it was the article title.
- jasonkostempski 9y agoHN title is not the article title.
- theprotocol 9y agoI stand corrected. I mistook it for being the title of the article.
