It's a problem with the title.

  My point regarding attention span stands. The title could certain do with improvement, but people should not be consuming their news of the basis of titles.

    I do because most articles are crap. The comments are simply better quality. For example, I was able to tell in 2 seconds that this was on mice from reading the comments and so that I don't care about the article.

      Quite often comments are wrong, top-rated comments are often reflective of bombastic conclusions arrived at (and upvoted) by people who had not read the article.

    The first page of HN has thirty articles. I can't read all of them. I don't recognize the author's names, so I can't judge by that. The number of comments does not tell me if I will be interested in the article. The title is all I have to go on. Admittedly, I should probably assume that anything relating to Alzheimer's or Parkinson's has an implicit "(in mice)" tag.
