The article's title is clickbaity as hell, it should be something like "Why there is less mosquitoes in Disney World than it should" or something like that. "Why Disney World doesn't have mosquitoes" is implying(and wrongfully so) that DW doesn't have mosquitoes. If you want to imply something , then just say it. That meta game of click-baiting people to read your crappy article and then patronizing them because they point it out to you how bad is, is just disgusting and sad.

> The article's title is clickbaity as hell, it should be something like "Why there is less mosquitoes in Disney World than it should". The actual title has the advantage of a passable resemblance to English grammar and correct usage, and doesn't suggest that a certain nonzero quantity of mosquitoes is to be normatively preferred. More accurate at the expense of being less terse, while not sacrificing those advantages, would be something like “Why Disney World has fewer mosquitoes than might otherwise be expected”.

  Yeesh, harsh downvotes. You'd think HN, of all places, would be more appreciative of Vulcanposting.

While the title might be hyperbolic, it's not clickbait. A clickbait title is one that misleads or leaves out information in order to trigger your curiosity and get you to click on something you otherwise have no interest in. "You WON'T BELIEVE what actor got cast in this movie!" is a clickbait title. "Why Disney World doesn't have mosquitoes" tells me the article is about Disney World's anti-mosquito measures, and that's what I got from reading it.
