It's standard HN policy (and elsewhere, I might add) to only use the actual headlines of linked articles. This prevents editorializing in the headline and undue steering of the ensuing conversation.

I sympathize somewhat, but keep in mind that these rules are common throughout online communities, and only exist because submission headlines became massive soapboxes.
