Agree, its editorialising and not allowed under the guidelines here (unless it was in the original and that was changed), but given the uselessness of the field you could argue that any "String Theory" claim in any title should have an automatic question mark (or perhaps several) attached afterwards.

It's not useless, though. String theory can be a fad (or "difficult to prove", per Witten) but some of the mathematics used in its research or "trying to prove it" have been used in other fields.
