Uh... how did this thread get buried so quickly? Submitted an hour ago, 68 points and it's already fallen off the first page?

Anyways, here's a detailed response about the issue from the CEO:

I post comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8404139 to indicate that a story has already been discussed on HN. The rule for reposts is that we demote them as dupes if the item has had significant attention in about a year. Sometimes there are borderline calls, but this isn't one: 152 points and 156 comments is significant attention and 1 day ago is less than a year.

Doesn't "item" denote the actual article that's posted, not the subject of that article. This is a strange definition of duplicate if you can't post different stories about the same topic. Don't we encourage multiple points of view and if we find someones interpretation of the topic interesting doesn't it deserve to live or die on its own?
