I'm genuinely curious as to why an admin hasn't changed this title yet.

Certainly enough people have commented about it and it is a grossly misleading omission.

Not knowing whose blog it is leads you believe it may be a factual article as well.

I refuse to upvote misleading information like this.

Yeah pretty much the silliest thing about HN now - the endless title tweaking by the mods.

And to what end? More than once the title has changed so significantly I thought it was an entirely new article.

I agree there should be something that signifies a changed title(perhaps just an appended asterisk) but I also think it is useful and oftentimes necessary functionality.

How would it be 'silly' to add the question mark to the end of this posts title? Especially given that HN guidelines explicitly state that titles should be the headline of the article.
