This thoughtful article deserves more interesting discussion than I fear its generic title will obtain for it, so we've changed the title to a (compressed) representative sentence. Happy to change it again if anyone suggests something better.

How about: "This thoughtful article deserved more attention - you won't believe what someone changed its title to..."

[edit: you're right though; personally I'd have never bothered with the original title, and it really is a very thought-provoking piece - as so often anything is that talks about Engelbart, Bush &c.]

Trust me, dozens of people think the same day after day but they don't have the privilege of choosing their own titles for submissions.

That's true. Are you trying to make an additional point, though?

You've pushed threads down because you feared they would obtain more attention than you felt they deserved, just do the opposite in this case and force this one upwards.
