Unless I misunderstand the point of this forum, this is the place where we are supposed to provide our opinions, some of which are "flak". We'll give our "flak" here about anything we want, within reasonable limits (keeping it clean and on-topic). The title of any article, which sets the tone from the get-go, is most definitely on-topic. If you don't think so, then back to J-school with you. With that in mind...
The title of this article is clearly out of whack with the content, not to mention reality. If I were you, I'd be pretty pissed at an editor that takes it upon themselves to modify your title into something so whacky... apparently just to add more spice and bring the reader's attention.
Well... it worked. You guys got our attention now (most of it negative). It's up to you and your editor to determine who takes the heat. It would be nice if someone at SeekingAlpha said something as simple as "Yes, you guys are right, the title is a bit off-kilter." Or, just fix it back to what you originally intended. I am quite sure that someone there has the guts and/or integrity to admit a boo-boo and fix it?
