Dec 12, 2019 at 19:27 comment added Davy M @VLAZ There's a big difference between "You found the bug, you write the code" which implies the OP recognizes something is wrong but is too lazy to address it, and "I don't think that's a bug, and your explanation doesn't make sense to me, I don't see anything to improve in my answer. How about you make your own answer so that the community can judge which way is right?"
Dec 12, 2019 at 18:00 comment added Cody Gray Mod To be clear, @VLAZ, this suggestion of posting a competing answer (which I encouraged Davy to add to his answer) is not instead of posting a comment. It's instead of engaging in a debate in the comments section.
Dec 12, 2019 at 9:25 comment added BSMP @VLAZ You don’t have to post an answer just because someone asks. If they seem sincere in wanting to understand your criticism, invite them to discuss it in chat. If not, then disengage.
Dec 12, 2019 at 6:40 comment added VLAZ "invite them to post a new answer" but what if one can't post an answer yet can definitely point out something incorrect? I've been in this situation and it feels exceptionally petty from the other party to just dismiss your critique with the ye olde "If you know better, do it yourself" which has never really held true. I don't need to be a tailor to say clothes don't fit me. I don't need to be a chef to spot a bad dish. I don't need to be able to post an answer to say why one is incorrect. After all, do you even that with QA? "You found a bug, eh? Well, let's see YOU write the code!"
