Actually it's either because less versus fewer is not an actual rule

It's not a grammar issue; only "less" matches TFA's meaning.

(Aside: it's better not to be pedantic, but if you must be pedantic you should remember to be correct as well.)

True. People often incorrectly believe that less and fewer have distinct cases where only one word is correct. They are mistaken.

(The aside was for you - TFA's title is not a case where either word works.)
