It's not about which title is better (I agree OP's better) but the guideline saying do not editorialize the title.

So either a bad/irrelevant guideline or not properly enforced.

Or are guidelines instead of stead fast rules.

Good point. I (think I) remember seeing guidelines being used to enforce a mod action though, so then they would stop being guideliness and become rules.

I don't think things are so black and white. The mods can pretty much do whatever they want at the end of the day. They also give a lot of leeway.
