Yesterday I asked this question about a flash drive. Today, I came back to look for answers and found that it had been marked as a duplicate. I was excited to learn that my question had already been answered, and then immediately dismayed to see that it had, in fact, not. My question is about a drive that prevents diskpart from opening, while the one it is marked as a duplicate of begins assuming the drive is visible in diskpart (the question is here for reference). This seems to be a mistake, and not an isolated incident (see here and here). I don't want my question reopened, necessarily, as I've decided the drive is done for, but I'm now wondering about the process for duplicates.

My question is twofold (which I realize is frowned upon. Sorry): (1)Why are questions able to be marked as duplicate without some more in depth review, and (2) why is there no way to appeal or question the decision as the asker?
