This is correct. They will A/B test titles AND update the title w/o warning over time, often 3-6 times per article post publication.

They used to change the URL a bunch of times after publication! Seems crazy because it is but they did. Caused a whole problem on Wikipedia because “title + day + work + url” suddenly wasn’t stable.
