What's the point of deleting a comment thats quoted afterwards?

I can still clearly see whatever offensive thing they wrote right below.

+1, I'm not sure, either.

edit: I mean, deleting the comment makes sense. It doesn't make sense that you can still see the quote of it.

Hopefully when the finish with better quoting, deleting a comment will auto-delete any quotes of it.

Well apparently they delete quotes now, but dont leave any trace, so the response looks extremely out of context.
