The fact that the post itself is high-quality doesn't imply that it has the optimal title.

Why "Feeling Rational" has to have r-word in title; "Rational Romantic Relationships" would not lose much by changing to "Designing Better Romantic Relationships".

It would lose a perfectly good alliteration.

You mean an absolutely awesome alliteration?
