You think people want dual inheritance for comments? Seriously? That's… (to be polite) completely insane as a discussion system from a user perspective, and perhaps more importantly for your argument, completely not something that happens right now in MediaWiki conversations.
To be fair, this is something that happens on long talk page discussions. It is not correct to blanket-classify all talk page conversations as directed trees. When discussions get really long, it just becomes a blob of text of people talking back and forth with each other. It is massively disorganized, but it will not work to simply force the discussion into a tree structure.
