Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 It would depend on the purpose.

 As I understand things, its main purpose is to make sure that double
 clicking the publish comment button won't output two comments. Adding a
 unique ID for each comment, that gets passed into the comment form, and
 that expires upon the comment being saved, would easily defeat this (it
 would probably cut a lot of spam, too). The duplicate-comment check could
 then be rendered obsolete, in favor of redirecting to the newly published
 comment itself.
