It isn't informative if it's untrue, and there's no way for us to easily verify how true it is. That's one reason we have the rules about titles at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
Hi, I submitted this article (and it's original title). FWIW (not that you asked), but I don't mind at all if the title of the submission is changed. I fully understand why you have the rules, and it was not my intention to go against them. IMHO, the 'title' of the submission is far, far less important than the actual meat of the issue, and in the context of HN, the entire point of submission, at least to me, is to foster some [hopefully] interesting dialog, discussion, and debate (while remaining civilized of course, we're all adults here, everyone should act like it)
