this comments are ignored

people closed my questions in past for being duplicate - despite that I linked that question and described why it is not a duplicate

> He sees a new question. He searches the SO if a similar question has been asked. He finds a similar question, and without reading and testing it thoroughly, he marks yours as a duplicate of that.

that is wrongheaded and bad idea leading to predictably terrible results

she/he should not close it as duplicated without proper check (it is better to have some duplicates over bad closures)
