There's a challenge finding the right headline when posting to HN. My last few posts had very literal headlines and went nowhere. I amped this headline up a bit while making sure it was still honest and, looky here, it got more attention. Now I have to decide how I feel about the difference.

FWIW, it doesn't bother me. Perhaps phrasing amped-up headlines as questions would forestall at least the more moderate wing of the clickbait squad?
