Thanks to muscle memory, I reopened and closed to change the duplicate link here. However, in hindsight, I probably did the right thing.

The user who originally marked the question as a duplicate posted a comment explaining how the question is a duplicate of the link that they chose. I then reopened the question and marked it as a duplicate of another question; my answer to that question clearly debunks what the other user said in the comments. Had I edited the duplicate link in-place, their comment would no longer make sense, unless I followed up with another comment saying I changed it (since, realistically, the revision history isn't going to be the first place most people will think of looking in situations like this).

It would be nice if editing duplicate links in-place also modified the "marked as duplicate" notice on the question page, but as I understand if it is not feasible.
