This was submitted with the title of the article and then changed to this ("Others may be unconsciously judging your features in ways you don't realise") in the time it took me to read it. Isn't the policy here that article submissions should be submitted with the title of the article?


I agree, this seems like mod intervention solely aimed at discrediting the article (ie. making it appear shallow and unscientific). I'm not saying this is a great article but the edit is unnecessary.


The new title (who knows if it was changed by a mod or by the user) is more level headed, analytical and less click baity in my estimation. Not sure if those are good things, but I don't see how the new title makes it seem less scientific, if anything it does the opposite right?.


Odd, when I read "features" I assumed software features. I expected an article on user perceptions of software by feature-set.

I guess I'm saying that there's a lot of open space for interpretation?


Keep in mind that the submitter can edit the title for up to one (two?) hours after submitting it.


Unfortunately I did not edit it.
