This isn't the first time an HN editor's change has made a post's title less relevant to the HN readership[1]. I'm really tired of it, but since it's all done behind the scenes, I don't know how to productively comment on it or suggest that they stop doing it.

If it is the title of the article how does that make it less relevant?

  I think at times a different title may serve as a way for the poster to convey some relevant and appropriate commentary on why it is being posted.
