Awesome!

Interesting idea, better than many stuff on Hacker News.

The funny thing is that they've used a bad title, which gives you an impression that it's going to be a boring rant about titles. So it didn't get much points because people skipped it. Showing that if you put in a very bad title no-one would read it and so no-one can form an impression about it. So it would probably have been better if they had just used a good title in the first place. You do need some way of attracting visits.

A better way to test this would be pricing a good quality product low, as this attracts customers due to simple economics of demand, and then impressing them with the quality thus getting repeat buys.
