Misleading headlines only affect people who have not read the article. People who have not read the article, or can't bother to read the article, are essentially incapable of giving a proper high-quality response to the article.

I don't see how you can lower the quality of discourse any further than someone commenting on an article that they didn't read.

Time is a valuable commodity, it is disingenuous to trick people into reading articles through the use of clickbait headlines.

The article itself also continues to conflate the definitions of dimension by referring to 3-D. When little timmy draws a star on his paper we don't say "congrats on your 5 dimensional drawing".

Right, so don't waste other people's time by commenting on an article that you haven't properly read.
