Has the title been changed?

  Yes, we changed it in a feeble attempt not to have a tedious religious flamewar. (From the site guidelines: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Btw, when we do these edits we nearly always use some representative phrase from the article itself. I'm pretty sure that was the case here.)

    I hope the attempt worked. I was trying to find how the new title related to the original one and was skimming the article in the process. It didn't seem that, well...peaceful?

      It didn't work. I originally wrote "feeble and doomed" but then felt embarrassed for using 4 adjectives in 1 sentence.
