This is a reflection of a poor commenting system. I would prefer for every online commenting system, including HN's, to allow one to see the version history of a comment. As things stand right now, commenting systems are biased in favor of revisionists.

That said, in the past when HN seemed to be doing something weird, dang usually has a pretty great explanation for why, so there might be a good reason for this choice as well.
