Because the title itself was clickbaity (“surprise effect”) I tried to summarize both title and subtitle.

I think I did ok in that regard, but as you say the two sentences could themselves overstate things. But I figured any more edit would get into the discouraged editorializing

So it was two clickbaity titles and you summarized them both into one very more clickbaity title. Good job

Thank you. It seemed the most consistent with the HN title “rules”.
