Nor the title or the article has the word “rant” anywhere
> A Nobel Prize winner’s brilliant tirade against mortality
Why does the submission has to be editorialized when the original is perfectly fine? Whenever that happens on HN I always think the OP has an agenda to push otherwise why make an editorialized change.
That title wasn't really 'editorialized' (at least, in spirit). The other comment explains the removal of clickbaity stuff but another HN title convention is putting the title of the book in book review articles which probably drives most of the changes here since there's also a length limit.
The HN title is shorter and avoids the vague author description of "Nobel Prize winner" and the biased adjective of "brilliant". So it's pretty typical for a HN link.
