Just imagine that this discussion we have is on a wiki, this is the latest edition (you would need to check the history, aka mailing list archives to see the full revisions) and it contained: On Tuesday 01 November 2005 17:36, Timwi wrote:

Agree. I am strongly in favour of LiquidThreads.
See the danger?

May be I miss here something important, (or you are talking about a feature yet to be implemented) but I just did that evil thing we are discussing. I went to a discussion page, which contained 2 comments, mine and one from another author. I "bravely" deleted the final dot of his last sentence, using an external editor.
And no when I later looked at it from show different versions I could see the chanced but the time stamp you mentioned I could not see, either it that display nor in the source file.
Another important point. Recently I wrote a comment in another discussion page (that one quite huge), again using an external editor. By accident it seems that I changed the coding of the page so, some non ASCII symbols changed. Now you might say that this is the danger which may occur also when I edit an article, however I consider it more annoying in a discussion, where my intention was just to add a single comment.
Conclusion in a discussion page every comment should be protected somehow.
