Why does the submission has to be editorialized when the original is perfectly fine? Whenever that happens on HN I always think the OP has an agenda to push otherwise why make an editorialized change.
- keiferski 2y agoTirade is a synonym of rant. I don't think there's much of a change in meaning here. Tirade: > a long, angry speech of criticism or accusation.
- haunter 2y ago> I don't think there's much of a change in meaning here. Thanks to agree that it was unnecessary to change the title then
- keiferski 2y agoThe HN title is shorter and avoids the vague author description of "Nobel Prize winner" and the biased adjective of "brilliant". So it's pretty typical for a HN link.

- pvg 2y agoThat title wasn't really 'editorialized' (at least, in spirit). The other comment explains the removal of clickbaity stuff but another HN title convention is putting the title of the book in book review articles which probably drives most of the changes here since there's also a length limit.
