Authors don't always have a final say on what the headline will be. Sometimes they don't have any say at all.

  The original headline is much more positive: http://yfile.news.yorku.ca/2019/09/06/just-how-big-is-a-proton-york-scientists-help-resolve-decade-old-puzzle/ http://yfile.news.yorku.ca/2019/09/06/just-how-big-is-a-prot... I'd say the writer has a tendency to write gloomy headlines: https://www.quantamagazine.org/famous-experiment-dooms-pilot-wave-alternative-to-quantum-weirdness-20181011/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/famous-experiment-dooms-pilot...

    It's not a case of an "original headline": this is an entirely separate article, not a regurgitation of the press release. Wolchover is a very serious writer. It's pretty sickening to watch the (sadly predictable) HN sneering and mockery around the topic of someone's (anyone's) mental health. It's such a cruel, distorted and completely non-constructive conversation. Do you guys really not have anything more interesting to say?
