The *real* problem is that people keep bringing up topics (and even spell them out in the bug tracker) without searching for existing discussions and/or tickets first. That's why those who do such a search (or who know what they are talking about anyway) close these tickets with the remark "this has been rejected before", instead of repeating an entire heap of arguments all over again to feed a discussion that would only lead to the same result as it did before, often several times before.
