Does anyone else think the auto-merge double post 'feature' stinks?

I appreciate what it's 'trying' to do but sometimes you add new/relevant information to an existing question and the thread doesn't get bumped to the top/marked as unread again even though the entire situation may have changed and warrants being re-read by those interested in it. If not interested then skip over it- in the end this is software about making posts- don't take the fundamental basic principal of vB away... at the very least this should be disabled in the discussions and mods sections... maybe there is use for it in an OT section, and that is only a maybe.
