From the HN guidelines:

> please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize

I'm finding myself disappointed with the application of guidelines here. The title has been changed to a completely made up headline, differing from the original, which is editorializing. It's the second time this happens in the past 24 hours - yesterday the ".. you idiot" part was removed from a blog post completely numbing the post's intention. Neither was misleading or clickbait.

EDIT: while typing this comment, the title has been changed yet again to reflect the paper's title "Effect of Colonoscopy Screening on Risks of Colorectal Cancer and Related Death".

This post was submitted with the following title from the original article per the guidelines: "In gold-standard trial, colonoscopy fails to reduce rate of cancer deaths"

Exactly. There was no need to edit.
