Yes. We've changed it to the subtitle, since it's less baity than the main title.
Submitted title was "In past 50 years rate of return in Education = 8.8% and in US stockmarket = 5.6%". I assume that was a well-intentioned attempt to rewrite a baity title as the guidelines ask (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), but it's better to use language from the article, and the magic numbers violate the guidelines in another way.
