<p>I've just seen an answer closed as a <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/92052/kolmogorov-smirnov-test-for-large-sample">duplicate</a>. </p>

<p>The text in the blue box containing the information about the reason it was closed says "This question has been asked before and already has an answer."... but the thing it's <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/92035/how-to-guess-a-curve-distribution-from-count-data">marked as a duplicate of</a> doesn't have an answer. </p>

<p>Is that still legitimate? If it is, shouldn't that reason be changed so it doesn't say the duplicate has an answer that it doesn't have? If the text can't be changed, wouldn't it suggest the intent is that both should remain open until one of them actually gets an answer?</p>

<p>[I'm not trying to suggest that there's something egregious here - and certainly I don't think there's anything but the right motives present - but if I find this quite confusing, it would not be surprising if the OP does. Some additional clarity on this issue would be good, I think.]</p>
