I suggest adopting RFC 2119 or something similar to avoid misleading titles on HN.

  It would be great, but it's unenforceable, and newbies wouldn't know about it. Besides, in this case the inaccuracy is in the referenced article. We could probably do something, but it would require a lot of hacking, and wouldn't necessarily be worth it. Perhaps it's currently good enough.

    in this case the inaccuracy is in the referenced article. The article title is not inaccurate.

      > The article title is not inaccurate. So, the article itself says: There could be one hundred billion Earth-like planets in our galaxy, ... The title says: Galaxy has 'billions of Earths' In the title we don't have any of the words "could", "might", "may", "possibly", or any other words indicating the uncertainty. To me, that means the title is inaccurate.
