Mods, please fix the title. "A Clash of Cultures" is very broad and says very little about the article's contents.

- pvg 9y agoThe title is neither clickbait nor misleading. It's perfectly fine to have to read something to find out what it is.
- heliodor 9y agoI think a lot of people would consider that linkbait. Not revealing the contents of something. The appeal of mystery. Is that not bait? Manipulation?
- pvg 9y agoA lot of these people would be wrong. What are these well-known essays about, judging from the title alone? If they were linked on HN, would you like the titles changed? As we may think A modest proposal Unto this last Total eclipse The emperor's old clothes The cathedral and the bazaar
