Why was the title changed? It now seems like a general article about query performance, while it's really just about 5 specific cases.



It's BuzzFeedy, who cares how many are discussed?

From the guidelines [0]:

> If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."

(and I think it makes some attempt to do this automatically)
