Now I'm really confused. The title of this post was originally "So You Think You're Smarter Than A CIA Agent ", which is consistent with the title of the article. Now it's been changed to editorialize the content? Isn't that the opposite of HN policies?
- kissickas 13y agoIs this policy written somewhere? The only trend I've noticed is that I always agree with anyone complaining about a changed submission title. (I don't think you're complaining, are you? The NPR title is pretty cheap IMHO.)

- kissickas 13y agoI would call it linkbait, cool. Sad to see coming from NPR. Thanks for the link, it's been a few years since I read those rules.
- Houshalter 13y agoI had the same thing happen to one of my posts. It wasn't changed to the title of the article or to something that made it more descriptive, it was just given a random new title that made it more vague.
