The submitted title was "Terence Tao's first published paper, at 8 years old". That's excellent information to add, but it should be added as a comment, not as an editorialized title. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

This, unfortunately, seriously affects the chance of clicking on the link, because it hides the most interesting bit of information.

Rules are rules, but shortcomings are shortcomings :-\

Yes, but it had made the front page at the time, which already guarantees quite a lot of attention.
