that title might be easier to parse, but it's less poetic and less attention grabbing


The goal as a blog author should not be to grab attention and mislead readers into starting your article only to realise it's not what they expected and were interested in.


Why do you think misleading was the goal?

To me it was a clear and a very fitting title.

(But my first language is german, maybe that has some influence)


I doubt it was OP's goal. Commenter I responded to on the other hand said that the original was more 'attention grabbing' than my clarifying amendment, and that's what I said ought not be the goal.
