No, that is not true. Superseding is technically mostly the same as
canceling and reposting the article. The new article gets a new
Message-ID and a new article number. It's not like editing an article
at all.
I've used Supersedes on LUGNET a few times, and whenever I did, I
could see a "Cancelled" placeholder for the old one in the thread tree
on the LUGNET news web interface.

Not at all. News subscribers will see the new article, but they will
not see the old one anymore once the new is posted. If they read news
frequently, it will occur to them that the message got posted twice,
albeit with some changes the second time.
