<p>Being provocative or controversial can garner more attention, but <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/55822/how-to-deal-with-a-fake-scientist">more</a> <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/55583/can-you-see-any-s-curve-in-the-scatter-plot">attention</a> <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/134647/this-is-purported-to-be-a-paired-t-test-i-doubt-it">isn't</a> <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/203655/is-frequentist-statistics-concerned-with-expectation">necessarily</a> <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/685/lies-damn-lies-and-statistics">good</a>.

<p>While a more controversial title may get more people to respond in some way, it doesn't necessarily get what you need -- a high quality answer -- instead it will tend to garner "snappier" answers from driveby-answerers, and from the regulars it will often attract downvotes, close votes, flags ... or if you're really lucky, just edits.</p>

<p>It also doesn't really help the site serve its purpose; this is intended to be a repository of high quality questions and answers, not clickbait.</p>
