Hell Knights and Barons of Hell don't infight with Revenants?

[HombreSal]

Today I noticed that if a Revenant blasts a Hell Knight/Baron's shoulder with a missile, they won't infight as it should happen. What? Why? What?

Revenants are dead demons, so they could possibly also be dead Hell Knights/Barons.

They infight with each other, but Hell Nobles don't infight with each other. You should pay closer attention.

One thing to keep in mind that monsters have a threat rating of sorts.  If you damaged the hell noble and continue to so they will not shift off of you until they lower that threshold to 0. This might be the case here.

I was thinking about that too. Normally, barons and hell knights can infight with revenants, but not if they're still angry at the player.

It should be noted that MBF and its derived ports have a gameplay option which changes the infighting thresholding logic. For example in MBF a monster that sees you will not easily switch targets to another monster for a few seconds. Also they may switch their target back to the real enemy if they fail to find the bothersome monster. Is this documented in the wiki?
