This highlights the ongoing problem of article titles needing to be eye-grabbing but usually inaccurate/misleading or more complex than a simple title allows for.

It's a title, it cannot be a paragraph long to be pedantically clear and unambiguous in what to expect.

"Website that lets you download a 1KB long executable that can be run on 7 _kernels_ and x86_64 architectures, but actually it's only been tested on Intel and will probably not work on Android even if technically it's still a Linux kernel, also Linux < 2.6 is unsupported so YMMV"

My comment (which I could have made more clear) was intended to be responding to the idea of quoting the title and then claiming it's misleading.

I agree fully with what you're saying.
