> What's wrong with "CRISPR gene editing shown to cure Transthyretin amyloidosis in patient study" I understand your asking a rhetorical question but in the interest of having a discussion about this I’ll try to give you an answer. Imagine a title like “Xonuicfixs shown in zenocttkike to cure Xclatngt” Reading that you might thing “wrf are they talking about?” But imagine I just change the title to be more like: “A breakthrough in Xonuicfixs shows promise as a cure for a range of decided.” Have I lowered the information content of the title? Yes, certainly. However I have also made it very apparent to you an others who don’t know the subject matter why this is a worthwhile achievement, and this might therefore just become the first article that you read and learn about Xonuicfixs. And really shouldn’t that be the job of a title? To convey to potential readers why the content might be with their time. And I would note that this is entirely different from clickbait which tires to lure you into content with no information about what the content is.
