First off, this has nothing to do with semantics. The meaning of the words or the title is not the issue here, it's the inclusion of information that isn't related.
Second, the fact that I disagree with the title has nothing to do with my opinion of the story.
If you see "The cancer kill her yesterday" as a title, you won't say anything about the verb tense because that would imply you love cancer?
Well then, "guess we have to agree to disagree there".
