Now, it's Sunday morning, I just crawled out of my nice warm bed, and
I haven't finished my first cup of bad coffee yet--but if 

  Duplicate == Repeated information, and
  Repeated Information == Useless Bug Report, and
  Useless Bug Report == Bogus, 

does not, therefore:

  Duplicate == Bogus?

And both Duplicate and Bogus mean that the bug report is dead and
shouldn't be touched (I tend to agree with Stas on this one):

Just wondering...and this is just an addled early-morning
thought...what would be the downside of have a very simple Open/Closed
flag field for each report, along with a status modifier field of
Duplicate, Analyzed, Bogus, etc.
