It is aimed at people with only basic command of probabilities
Such people have probably not heard of the two envelopes problem and thus the title is not informative for them.* It seems to me that it would be useful to put something in the title to indicate that this post is about probabilities and maybe that it is fairly introductory. I could be wrong about how people read this site. Maybe everyone clicks through to the article and reads as far as the italicized section, but it seems low cost to give it a more informative title.
* Also, I doubt that people who do associate “two envelopes” with probability are not very likely to think of this particular problem, for what it’s worth.
Added: “this site” = discussion. If the plan is to move this to main, the structure makes more sense. But I still think the title could be better.
All fair points. I did want to post this to main, but decided against it in the end. Didn’t know I could move it to main afterwards. Will work on the title, after I’ve fixed the error pointed out by VincentYu.
