HN users' passion for accurate titles is an unstoppable force, so the object it meets had better be moveable. I learned that the hard way. Title fever is not good for discussion, that's true, but the only way to minimize it is to flex with the objections. I learned that the hard way too.
The interesting question is why. It can't just be about titles; those are too trivial to bring out that kind of emotion.
Context switching sucks is why.
An accurate headline is like parking in a parking spot. A misleading clickbait headline is like backing into the same parking spot.
This is the only place where we have any control over that, every other social media venue we're stuck with the flashing lights and beeping noises.
Thanks for your vigilance.
