Being misleading about this particular thing—whether persuasion is uniformly good—could have significant negative externalities, so I’d propose that it is important in this particular case to have a title that reduces the likelihood of title misuse. I’d hope that the title can be changed in an amended version fairly soon, so that the paper doesn’t have a chance to spread too far in labs before the title clarification. I do expect a significant portion of people to not be vulnerable to this problem, but I’m thinking in terms of edge case risk in the first place here, so that doesn’t change my opinion much.
