Is it discouraged here to title the submission based on a statement within the linked article rather than its actual title?

I ask in all seriousness-- I'm still kind of new to this site.

The point that I think is worth emphasizing is not their funding but rather their assertion / premise that "The fact is, ‘Big Data’ is dead". Obviously an overstatement but the general point is: companies are being supported by reputable backers on the premise that Big Data is overhyped and other parts of the data eco-system are underdeveloped.

I considered giving it the same title as the article, and then just mentioning the "Big Data is dead" point in the first comment, but that seemed kind of roundabout and distracting to the point that I think is worth paying more attention to.

Happy to hear further suggestions given that background

Thank you, my bad. I thought I had read the guidelines but apparently missed that part. Apparently I can no longer change the title-- otherwise I would now-- but will to properly do so going forward.
