In the past was duplicate used for posts that were uploaded first but later had a superior version uploaded? It seems like some wikis still reference that, but it's very clear now that that's not supposed to be the case:

This tag only applies to inferior posts that were uploaded after an already existing identical post.

Pixel-perfect duplicate seems to suggest that the post that was uploaded first can be tagged as a duplicate if it has no source:

A post that is completely identical to its parent down to the pixel and was either uploaded afterwards or has no source while their parent does

Bad id outright says this:

If the filesizes are different and the image is superior, then upload it if you consider the image worthy, then parent the original to the upload (by clicking edit on the child post and pasting in the parent ID in the parent field) and then tag the original upload with the duplicate tag.

It's likely, the last meaningful update to that wiki that wasn't to add a new website's bad id tag was several years ago. Similarly, both duplicate wikis weren't updated for 3+ years.

Re: the pixel-perfect duplicate wiki, this does track with the general approach of treating unsourced/third-party images with a great deal of scepticism, since we can't verify that they haven't been edited, upscaled or lossily resaved. That said, nowadays those should rather be replaced and the source updated, that's just nicer for everyone involved.

I see. it is a highly disputed garment type, and after reading some formal definitions of a hat, I understand why.

Wiktionary definition for hat:

(clothing) A covering for the head, often in the approximate form of a cone, dome or cylinder closed at its top end, and sometimes having a brim and other decoration.

what confused me is that visor_cap wiki identifies itself as a hat, so maybe we should add some sort of disclaimer there.
