Heh. It's actually fun to find just the right phrase embedded in the text, that can be swapped in as an HN title—it's like mushroom hunting. There almost always is something suitable, but this time it was a perfect specimen, down to punctuation.

Of course we only need to do this when the original title is baity or misleading (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), but we've learned that when it is necessary, it's far better to take language from the article itself than to make up one's own. If you find the right phrase, ideally you don't even to change a word. The only thing I did after pasting the above was s/a/A/.
