It would make sense if there was any activity on that older post. A 12 hour old post with no comments is dead, linking to it is a waste of time, especially for those who click on it to find 0 comments.
I did click on your link, it was a waste of time and that wasn't very nice.

Don't bother clicking, that post got 0 attention. Not helpful, mate.

At the time I posted it, both were pretty lacking in attention, so it made sense to direct to the earlier of the two.
