I'm always torn about articles like this. The fact the headline is a lie makes me want to flag it but the content itself is interesting enough I would have read it without a clickbait title. I wish HN had guidance on this topic.

HN guidelines [1] do mention: “please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait”.

I'm of the opinion that if the headline is a lie, then the thread should be flagged; no matter how interesting the content. Lying shouldn't be rewarded.

But then again, I don't have flagging rights yet, so who am I to judge?
