I'd prefer if titles of HN submissions told me what should I look for.
I'd click on a "Humans may be just as capable as dogs at scent-tracking" link, and see if it is justified (no, really, I won't take it as granted just because it is a HN submission title).
But I don't know what to do with a "Mechanisms of scent-tracking in humans (2006)". I probably won't even click on it, and if I did, I wouldn't find anything interesting.
- loa_in_ 3y agoYou prefer publications to cater to your interests at a given moment, I prefer publications to hint at the whole covered area with the least amount of words but still as precisely as possible. I'm aware that everyone reading this might have their own takeaway from reading the paper, so it's unfair to deprive them of that or obstruct their search for it.
- bmacho 3y agoIn case of scientific publications maybe there are many different "sources", and for searching purposes it is better to have the original title, you are right in that. I don't get what you mean before it, but I don't think I want or can argue about it. I just generally prefer edited submission titles, for example in this submission or in a benchmark result page, or such.
