Just to remind you that the title of the patent isn't the patent itself. There's many ways to do the same thing, each patent is for a particular method or model. For example, you could claim patent for 'bicycle', and describe your model in the patent.

You are 50% right. The title isn't the patent - true. But the description isn't the patent either. The description serves to demonstrate how the claims may be implemented and hence underwrites their validity. It is the claims that have the teeth. (Respecting the fact that in cases of ambiguity the description will indeed be referenced)
