    You do realize your comment, is endorsing changing the title of a research paper published by respected researchers of the Department of Physics by Illinois State University, Yale University and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics? What is next? For example have you heard about this paper? "Attention is all you need" ? - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762.pdf Atrocious title! And what about "Everybody Dance Now" - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.07371.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1808.07371.pdf Even worst...

      If you have a problem with the guidelines you can take it up with dang. As it stands, the guidelines state do not editorialize unless it's misleading or linkbait. The original headline for the article linked here is "Ways to install Windows 11", which is neither misleading nor clickbait/linkbait. >respected researchers Clickbait is clickbait, whether it comes from bearded wisemen or the drunk bloke sleeping across the street.

        "Ways to install Windows 11" would tell nothing of why would be worthwhile to submit.

        This title wasn't editorializing, it wasn't an opinion, it is just more specific.

        It's injecting one's opinion of what is important about the article into the title. This misrepresents the article and puts the personal view of the poster in a favoured position it doesn't merit. One of the most basic not-allowed things in HN titles.

        What opinion is expressed by the title below? "How to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet Windows 11 requirements"

        I mentioned it in the comment and it's all over the giant list of moderator commentary about this - it's your opinion about what's important in the piece. You don't get to put that in HN titles.
