It's the word shocked. You're not wrong, there is nothing wrong with the post title in itself. But the internet has caused a lot of people to falsely attribute some form of grandeur to innocuous content in order to get you to click on the article. It's the crossroads of intellectualism with capitalism. The point is we're all striving for the most clicks because clicks translate to dollars, either directly in the form of advertising, or a personal brand. But on HN, it's considered gauche to acquire links in this nature. You should be getting the clicks because the content is worthy, not the title.
Looking at two motherboard cross sections looking for differences in architecture and performance is a fools errand, and the same goes for your brain. We can glean some information, but it shouldn't have to be said that form is not always a direct match to function.
