Closed/Archived topics

Continuing the discussion from Archiving closed posts...:
This topic is now archived. It is frozen and cannot be changed in any way.
Is there a reason we have two locks on a closed/archived topic? Does it make a difference to the end users if it's closed or locked that having two locks has any meaningful new information for us?

If the two behaviours have to stay, which I fiercely believe they should not (and should be merged), then they need different icons.

Well, obviously you need to show users that they can't post in the topic that can't be changed* in any way*.

"This topic is locked and can't be changed in any way except the ways it can be changed by the people who can do so."
It's 65% turning into a Monty Python sketch.
