OP here. The job of a headline or title isn't to "objectively" encapsulate the essence of an entire story, not in the least because that is an impossible task most of the times. Instead, it is to interest readers enough to start reading the story. Of course I'm not arguing in favour of blatantly link-bait titles, but I don't think that was the case with the original title proposed. The rate at which mods are editing story titles, we might as well delete the title field from the submissions page. Just pick up the title from the source URL.
