If the article agreed with the title, I'd just say it's an uninformed article. In my opinion, the clickbait distinction requires the discrepancy.

The article itself is clearly not clickbait --- it's long-form (more than 5000 words) reported narrative journalism. It's an uncharacteristically deep piece for Slate.
That's why I said the title is clickbait.
Also, it's a misleading title. It has a false statement in it. The false statement is intended to get you to click something.
The quality of the article isn't relevant to my point. My point is just that people will click this link expecting a defense of ESP.
