> If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

> Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait.

Quoted from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - I think this is pretty clearly a case where it is preferred to not use the original title.

Does that matter? Is the policy to not change clickbait titles when they are technically correct?
