It seems like they ought to have at least clarified the context, though. "Large integer precision error in Bash command output rendering" doesn't mean anything to anyone. If anything, it sounds like a bug in Bash.

It's also not a real rule. If you use the original title, they will regularly "fix" "misleading" or "clickbait" titles too. All of which is completely subjective at the whim of the mod team with zero transparency.
