This is a persuasive argument that thinking like a superhero is bad. I notice that you haven't said anything about how supervillains think, much less argued that we should emulate them. Consider changing the title, maybe? The current one is eye-catching but inaccurate.

Good point. I could change the title or I could add another paragraph. I'm not sure what standard procedure is for editing Main posts, though. Is this frowned upon without a clear delineation of where the edit is? (I usually do this for comments, but in this case it might interrupt the flow of the post.) Edit: Paragraph added.

I don't know about standard procedure, but editing in another paragraph sounds like a good idea. If you're worried about interrupting the flow, you could put the note at the end of the post rather than at the point where you insert the edit.
