Roll my eyes every time I see a "Considered Harmful" headline.

Same. Please, when you write a title for your article, be specific about what you think is wrong. "X Considered Harmful" is lazy writing and devalues any substantive argument you make because it's become a cliche to the point where it's almost anti-clickbait.

GUILTY ADMISSION: a related trap I started falling into when writing content for work (email, documents, whatever) and I was in a hurry for a subject line or title was "Thoughts on X". That's right, "thoughts": I communed with the creator and distilled them from on high. Yeah, ain't nobody got time to read that.
