Really? The title of the puzzle isn't part of the puzzle?

Then the first line of the puzzle should be "completely ignore the title of this puzzle because it's somehow not part of the puzzle. It's unrelated. It will completely mislead you"...

If you have a problem with the title, then take it up with the submitter. The title of the TFA is "A path from Seattle". The article just says to walk in a straight line while facing due east. It does not say to travel East. I know I sometimes have an issue of reading over things too quickly to actually comprehend properly. Maybe this happened to you too?

They changed the title after all the complaints. Also the HN title hasn't been updated yet.

I guess that's the risk of being pedantic on the interweb. The thing being complained about can change, but those pedantic comments will be written in ink and look foolish in hindsight
