The contents of the article are the only thing that ever matters.

The title is picked by editors to get the most people to click on it.

I think the title is all that matters. I'm only here for the discussion, and the title defines the topic.

Your approach will lead you to having an incorrect take quite often. You should reconsider unless you enjoy being wrong for no particular reason.

That's like going to a book club without having read the book.

You miss all nuance.

It's becomes very quickly apparent to those who've read the article when others comment without having read beyond the title.

This is why I don't participate in HN discussions. The level of vapidness is mind boggling.

If the title is click-bait that doesn't match the content, it should be corrected when submitting it on HN.
