The title was likely shortened by the submitter due to the 80-char length limit on HN. If you believe the submitted title is inappropriate for HN, please contact the mods via the Contact link in the footer.

The Intercept uses uppercase for all titles. This isn't emphasis, it's style. No need to carry that forward here.

Many people comment here without reading the article, based solely on the title, so discussing the fact that it's inaccurate seems to be pretty pertinent.

I didn't say it should be. I was explaining why the text I had posted was in all caps.

Indeed. Go a step further: don't just discuss it; get it fixed. The mods are very responsive in my experience. Help make HN better. Each of us plays a role in curating HN.

Next time, just paste in an editor and lowercase it yourself instead of putting this disclaimer...
