I'd suggest posting an alternative, non-misleading source instead, or if none exists, don't post at all.

Then this very interesting piece would never never come to my attention. Which is surely the worst outcome.
Best is "you wont believe what happened when I tested NVMe SSDs"
Oh yeah, I bet something dramatic would happen if neither of us would see it.
Personally, I _do_ editorialize by posting a “summary” of what a post discusses, if there’s no real title. I try not to make it pass as my own opinion; sometimes it happened that mods reverted it to the original, less relevant title.
The trick is to write the summary from the point of view of the original author, preferably by lifting a quote from the text.
