I clicked on the headline, read the whole article, and then came back here to realize the “law” that CEOs are breaking is the conservation of complexity.

3/10 article, 10/10 headline

Authors often have little input on the headline or title of an article or book. When a publisher focuses on one-off readership instead of longtime readers, they tend to use whatever headline grabs the most attention.
Yeah, this felt like clickbait to me. It's pretty poor quality writing. It introduces a pretty abstract idea which is fine, but it doesn't seem to land it's points.
The headline is so appealing, haha. This conversation is going to have two non-overlapping topics based on whether or not people read the article.
