Comment (by o44czp8oqy):

 In the XML-RPC file, specifically within the pingback_ping() function
 around line 1967, there's a supposed check intended to prevent duplicate
 pingbacks from the same originating server for the same article. While
 this seems like a sensible precaution, upon closer inspection, it appears
 that the check is not effectively utilized. There's an if (1==1) condition
 in place, essentially ensuring that the pingback insertion code is always
 executed regardless of any prior pingbacks.

 This design flaw impedes the ability to call pingback_ping() more than
 once for the same article. In scenarios where it's necessary to parse a
 post body multiple times to detect additional URIs for pinging, this
 limitation becomes problematic. Ideally, we should be able to call
 pingback_ping() multiple times for the same article to accommodate such
 situations.
