Yes, authors don't always have final say on their title, cover art, or book blurb. As a first time published non-fiction author, I had none (though they were kind enough to take suggestions from me). He probably had more input as an established author, but wise authors also know that publishers have a lot of knowledge about what sells books and makes them "jump off the shelves."
We aren't the primary audience for this kind of book anyway. We are the choir here. We already get it. The title needs to call to people who may not get it, but will be intrigued and perhaps moved to advocacy or support for gifted education by the content.
