@SolarLunix Same as with any low-quality or incorrect answer - downvote, comment if you want, and flag if necessary. Yes, a downvote on an answer will cost you 1 rep, but it's worth it. It sends a message in a clearer way than a simple comment, as the answerer is losing 2 rep, and those can add up if more people follow your lead. While comments aren't strictly required, they can be helpful in a situation like this if someone else hasn't already pointed out the issue(s) with the answer.
