"Hard art demanded commitment from the artist. It could only be done once, and if you screwed it up, you had to live with the consequences." - Neil Stephenson, Diamond Age
I feel like what you're arguing for here is "it's fine as long as it's convenient for me".
It's pretty easy to rewrite if you want. Just point Claude Code at the repo and go. But I think there's a little bit of network effects in that I want to subscribe to some trusted people's blocks too. But overall it's quite helpful. See how much fewer I get:
849 comments | 138 hidden | 87 blocked | 23 greenAnd, it's social. If someone you've marked green is also using this, and they marks someone green that you have marked red, then you'll see a contested red-green next to them, which is a good "you should probably reconsider" indicator.
They had the same sort of system. Friends of foes, they calldd it.
What is amazing is it would have remained so just a couple of years ago!
Even if you're just inexperienced in the language you're communicating in and are trying to have better conversations, it's very helpful.
For cases like that, I say just don't tell people... I think it's unlikely anyone will be able to tell either way.
These are just guidelines

the title being the changelog is still probably the better choice because the discussion here and linked are about guidelines in the page rather than absolute rules or a discussion about the title alone.
Many of the other guidelines have exceptions too, and various strengths. E.g. "Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information..." is a pretty weak guideline in practice while "If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective..." is often over-enforced by automatic tooling and stuff like "Please don't use uppercase for emphasis..." CAN sometimes just make sense where a use of italics might easily get missed WHILE OTHER TIMES BEING THE REASON THE GUIDELINE WAS ADDED.
Edit: Well I wasted my time writing that as dang said it better anyways https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47342616
It also says that.
The intent of the guidelines are important. Using AI to generate the STT is fine. The conversation is still between humans.
