The moderation here typically leans to whatever generates the most curious discussion, rather than sticking with inflammatory titles, even if it's what the author intends.

replyThat's a dangerous mentality. Comments can be removed or lagged, but never edited. I feel the same about headlines. It's ultimate an artistic choice and I don't like the feeling of someone altering a headline to soften the blow. Especially to a trillion dollar company.
