Please don't make the dupe detector "too perfect". Fact is good content sometimes doesn't get noticed first time it is submitted. It is common for re-submissions (sometimes with a better title) a few hours or days later to make the the top of the front page.

> good content sometimes doesn't get noticed first time it is submitted. Amid all the discussion about catching dupes I can see why this wasn't clear, but the point of these changes is to let more reposts through. That's the motivation for what we've released today (see "We've adjusted the dupe detector to reject fewer URLs" above). Every good story that doesn't get attention is a loss for HN.
