I DO blame PG for the mindless enforcement of the "Title MUST match the linked page's title" rule. Sometimes this is a good rule but there really are exceptions!
EXAMPLE: This very post was actually submitted with the title
Yehuda Katz launches HN competitor - Lobsters
but then some mod just changed it to 'lobsters' which means absolutely nothing. How is that an improvement?
Well, it's an improvement on the basis of stopping the spread of
false information; Yehuda Katz did not create lobsters. jcs did.
Sure, the edit could have been both more correct and more informative,
but most people have better things than endlessly (re)correct trivial
and inconsequential stuff like titles that might matter for only a
handful of hours.
My question for you is, "When you're on your death bed with fleeting
time left in your life, will you consider the time you spent
on this issue of title editing to be well spent or wasted?

EDIT: Please invite me to Lobsters!
