But it's an interview with a specific person, focused entirely on her work. The entire content of the article is tied to who she is and what she does. Removing her name from the headline just obliterates the value of the headline as a way to determine what you're going to see when you land on the other side of the link. This is a misguided policy and I hope you reconsider it.

Just want to note that I'm on the other side of this -- I think this is a great moderation policy for this specific forum. Including names seems like a good way to: - let people exercise their people-related biases - encourage gaming of the system by appealing to authority - encourage gossip-y headlines "X's techchruch interview whatever whatever" > Removing her name from the headline just obliterates the value of the headline as a way to determine what you're going to see when you land on the other side of the link. I'm not sure I agree with this at all... What she did is what's valuable right? When I clicked that headline, I expect to see something or some process that is actually bringing transparency to ER prices. Also at the end of the day HN isn't a democracy :), but I think I happen to fall in the majority here (or at least in line with what was decided).
