This is the second time that I have notice a title change in HN where the original article has "The Man..." or "The Woman..." changed in the HN title to "A Man..." or "A Woman...". Why is this done?

Accuracy at a guess, the number of men who have transformed US theater is greater than one.

See, also, John Wilkes Booth.

And on that note shouldn’t it be “[A] Man…” so we can tell the title was changed on a cursory glance.
