Not every title should explain itself. On HN, it's good for readers to work a little. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Among other reasons, it interrupts the reflexive circuits and gives time for the reflective ones to kick in. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Liskov is one of the more famous people in the history of computing, which is right in HN's wheelhouse.

I don't know who half the people are who are mentioned on the HN front page. On the one hand, I'd like it if every person mentioned in a title had a description of who they are. On the other hand, that's overkill for a lot of famous people, so you've gotta draw a line somewhere.

For me it was "The only Liskov I know is from the liskov substitution principle" and then I discovered this is the same Liskov, which was rather neat.
