So why is this being up voted if it provides little value?

  Because the title is linkbait, and people are automatically upvoting based on how appealing the title sounds, rather than based on the content. This indicates a more general problem for HN: how do you get people to vote based on content, rather than title? I'm not sure I have a good, practical solution.

    If you figure out how to convince the public not to vote on appearances, please share it in time for the next general election... it'd put a lot of politicians out of work.
