But if the title is spam, and the content is good

Then the content would not need to be spam, to be high ranking.

Not if google just cared about content quality.

So in this scenario, where only quality counts for rankings, all a spammy title shows, is the desire to bypass legitimate rankings.

Thus, it should be downranked.

Again, this was if Google legitimately wanted to rank good content high.
