Dang, your title definitely made me curious enough to click the link, had a quick glimpse of the article and went to download the original 14 page PDF the author provided

This is the power of web and http that opens the world to any curious mind. Your change of title made a book marketing page to a gate to new ideas to explore and discover.

Also out of curiosity I traced the HN list of the submissions of the original link, i.e., the author who is promoting his book:

You can see that your change increased the attention to his marketing effort by a factor of 2!

Unfortunately this attention would hardly help him reach his audience, who are on the hiring side of the market and have completely different constraints than the engineering minded people dominated in HN.

Interesting conversation though.
