Throughout english class, from the 1st grade into university, there has always been an emphasis on choosing the right title. The title is an introduction, preparing the reader for what is to come. It is meant to be interesting, revealing, and clever. I wonder though, if the title divulges too much, however. Does the title prematurely label an unexplored space?
And when being introduced to the public, the title is always presented first, as the most significant information. But why not pass over the title into the grit of the work, alternately detailing the foundation.
I am at a point where I wish to boycott all titles, and instead skip right to the heart of the exertion. Within the core entails the excitement and beauty. There is so much more beyond the title, and I am prepared to fight for that.
~and so we remain, un-labeled~

I see the logic behind what you're saying.
But take it further. You sometimes place undue emphasis on words with a certain eloquence and beauty - and not always on simply picking the right word for the job. Although there is a certain value in picking less-used words, sometimes the 'grit' of what you're saying is best presented without verbal flourishes.
Just sayin'.
So I should be striving for a happy medium?
Je concur.
