Do you see that? Let's say the old paper has a trust level of 8.4 out of 10, with three reviewers and 124 votes of "great" or however its going to work. Plus a dozen inbound links citing and worse *quoting* it. Now all of that gets chucked in the trash. All the inbound links no longer reflect anything. It's a mess. And all that review work is also lost.
