Thanks for the response. I'd humbly submit that there are occasions where the guidelines should be ignored in service of a more descriptive (non-linkbaity) title.

I can't find the submission but one recent example that comes to mind is a presentation on radar detectors that was fascinating. I clicked because the submitter described the article; the original title was (IIRC) the model number of the radar gun.

Later a mod changed the HN post back to the model number, which had zero relevance to anybody not in the radar gun industry.
