Meta HN: How does a comment like this become undead after starting out dead?

  The vouch button

    Interesting, I didn't know about that button, I literally just noticed it (haven't had dead comments enabled for long). If a dead comment that someone vounched for becomes undead, and then dead again, does the voucher lose vouching ability?

      I've always been curious about that, but I try to only vouch for substantive comments that are devoid of flamebait (with which the ancestor comment appears to be chockablock). I try not to vouch on agreement / flag on disagreement -- that's what up&downvoting is for. Not for any particular concern about my internet points or vouching privileges, but because I like what HN aims for.
