There is no way a single line will ever continue the full meaning of any article anywhere to everyone. I think we need to move on from this expectation. In this case, it's abundantly clear that the author didn't really believe that Justice Thomas found the bug.

This just seems like defending clickbait.

It's abundantly clear the author didn't mean what the title says only after after opening and skimming the article.

Granted, HN's title editorializing didn't help the case. But there's a difference between expecting to preserve the full information of the whole article in a singular title sentence and being annoyed that some title has just enough ambiguity in it that folks will likely click on it.

I will admit wondering whether Justice Thomas was actually looking at Perl code was part of the reason why I clicked on this.
