DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

Oh, it totally matters what the thread title happens to be.

Not b/c it will have any sort of bearing on what direction the flow of conversation with follow... but it will determine how many click-thru's your thread gets.

I'm willing to bet that most people don't check every thread. So if you pick a topic title that draws a lot more attention, you'll get more views, and more replies.

So! In summation a thread topic should be chosen for "shock value", since there's no way that it will ever stay on-topic anyhow.
