I've "deleted" the post given your criticism, and...the number of upvotes on Manfred's comment at this point...

That was unnecessary, given the post's current score of +7. If all those people who upvoted Manfred really disapproved of the post (as opposed to lauding a display of wit), they could have voted it down to -28.

I don't have any problem with the post itself, its title, or most comments; and in fact I don't think your proposed title change would have "helped" one bit with folks like Manfred or cousin_it, since the idea of exploiting hobbies for their rationality benefits seems to be precisely what they find ridiculous.
