I agree. Two reasons:
* The text of our articles always aims for correctness as recognized by those who know what they're talking about, not for "correctness" as recognized by the majority of the people. The same should apply to article titles.
* We're here to educate, not to provide people with the warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from reading something familiar. For retaining memory, there's nothing better than a healthy shock. You follow a link to X and end up on page Y, how is that possible? Shock! Confusion! Immediately you investigate and the article gives the answer, right there in the second paragraph. You're not going to forget that one easily.
