The article's title breaks the HN guidelines, so we changed it to a representative sentence from the text. Happy to change it again if anyone suggests a better one.
Because I agree that the title was terrible but I've been scolded in the past for changing titles.
So yes, please do change misleading or linkbait titles to make them not be misleading or linkbait.
When changing a title, it's better to find accurate, neutral language in the article itself than to make up something new. We usually look at subtitles, introductory sentences, or (if necessary) the body of the text. Occasionally we don't find anything suitable for a title and have to make one up, but that's rare.
