Tangentially: It makes sense that the asker of the question gets to choose the answer that worked for them, but by doing so the idea of "duplicate questions" is invalidated.
For example, I could very well ask a new question which ends up being flagged as a duplicate of another question whose accepted answer does not work for me.
Can two questions be duplicates if they have different answers? Do I only have to claim that the accepted answer does not work to show that the new question is unique?
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoThe real problem is the asker isn’t knowledgable enough to select the correct answer in many cases. I’m not sure of the value this feature.
