Why doesn't the title match the article?

> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

Arguably the original title is linkbait.

A moderator changed the title because it was baity—maybe not super baity, but still. This is in accordance with site guidelines, as badfrog quoted.

When we do that, we either use a subtitle or a representative phrase from the article body. In this case it was the latter.

Because the title used in the article has extraneous detail that's not all that useful?
