The Evolution forum subtitle was created along with all the other subtitles about six years ago by myself. What I was keeping in mind when I wrote them was that lengthy subtitles would be ignored, while short subtitles if properly expressed could act as "grabbers". Generally, preciseness and brevity are conflicting goals - one has to give.
If a consensus can develop around a proposed wording then I'd be glad to put it up. Archer's achieves the desired improvement in accuracy, but it lacks pithyness. But I'll put up anything that people seem to like, assuming it passes other requirements like fitting in with the tone and style of the site, and being short and to the point.
