I guess it depends on how shitty the title is to begin with. I'd much rather your interpretation/edit to 5 reasons why bioinformatics is broken. For every time that someone visits the post page, there are probably several people that read the title in one of the feeds.

Sometimes titles are so annoyingly, shittily broken that I don't want to be seen as the submitter of that title, even though the content is good - so I change the title.

Yes, I can only imagine the pain the author must be feeling.
