I think it's that they (HN mods) like to use the original title.

Especially when the submitted title contains relevant context for the article. Can't be having that.

The submitted title was just plain wrong.

After looking at what the original title was, I agree. In this case it needed to be changed but just dropping the part about UDP would have been fine. In most cases though it honestly seems like when HN titles are changed it's changed for the worst. It looks like I'm not the only one who feels that way either.

Go ahead and fight it in those cases, but this is not at all good example.
