I Can Tolerate Anything Except the Outgroup

>Is there some reason why we need to rehash it again,

My guess is that the repetition of submissions on HN is usually unintentional because the web form[0] doesn't check for dupes before the user hits the submit button.

It only ever got traction twice. Once four years ago and once 24 days ago. That's hardly "discussed to death." OP probably just thought it was a relevant thing to share and all the upvoters seem to agree. Not everyone checks HN constantly.

It’s clearly a dupe according to the guidelines/FAQs, so you can just flag it, and if necessary, email the mods. No need for rage comments like this.
