### Update for 2020:
I'm a correctness answerer on Stack Overflow. Top 0.14% on the site. There are established ways to overthrow correct but outdated answers (I've just used one). They have emerged organically through the community. This is mainly through necessity, especially in the JavaScript world where the standard library was missing, and now includes, nearly everything one would expect in a modern programming environment and much more.
However it would be nice for highly upvoted answers that replace existing marked correct answers that are no longer getting votes to be marked as the 'community accepted' answer.

I've tried to edit accepted answers that contain inaccuracies or outdated info and faced difficulty getting those edits approved. It is a time consuming and frustrating process in my experience.
