Stupid elitist title.
Perhaps, but a comment like this lowers quality even further. Instead, why not suggest a better title? We're always happy to change them when users find a better (i.e. more accurate and neutral) way to phrase things.
We already changed this one from the baity original title to a more neutral subtitle, in accordance with the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
And yes, the original title was horrible. Wikipedia is another site that makes the Internet less trashy. And it is entirely possible for Wikipedia to become as authoritative as Stanford's.
Re moderated titles: we always try to use language from the article itself, not to make up our own. We manage to do that nearly every time.
Edit: is it better now?
