It specifically says...
> If the title includes the name of the site, please take it out, because the site name will be displayed after the link.
> If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."
> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
Emphasis on "Otherwise please use the original title". I think dang is wonderful and we're lucky to have him, but even in my short year or two here, I've seen enough instances of title-policing (not necessarily from him) that discourage me not just from changing titles but sometimes from posting things altogether if the title isn't good enough originally.
