> I'm baffled by the HN title of this article. There is no place in the article that claims a 100% success rate for curing leukemia.

And here we see the other side of not being able to change (editorialize) titles. I can see both sides of the argument, but I think this example forms a good reason to disallow giving articles different titles.



Isn't that what downvoting is for?


One can't downvote submissions, only flag them.


tomp, you can downvote after you have reached the right points/karma


You can downmod comments (and flag them too!), but you can only flag submissions no matter how much karma you have, which is why you've never seen a story with <= 0 points!
