It's good to make titles less clickbaity. I don't quite understand the rationale for editing here though, because this is a claim seriously made by the underlying journal article in PLOS One.
Edited to add: it seems an exaggerated claim to me too, but it's not just in the headline
- dang 6y agoGood question. From our perspective the issue is whether the discussion here gets snagged on something controversial (sensational, etc.) that is less interesting than the main topic. If there's any such snag in the title, the thread will tend to fill up with shallow comments that are reacting just to that. We've learned that when such title objections start appearing, it's best to sand away the snag.
