It is not just a matter or window title, so maybe one should care about this.
You can retrieve the data back from the results table (from another plugin or
a macro) if it was put there in the right way via rt.addValue() or
rt.addLabel() instead of IJ.write().

If you just IJ.write to it, you'll see the data in the window, but you will
not be able to retrieve it programatically (well maybe you can, but not easily
column/row-wise). I guess (but might be wrong) this is the reason for
suggesting to use "log" instead of "write".
