Paul, this comes down to a simple bit of ettiquette.

You may as well have written "Your Wrong" without any qualification
whatsoever. If he had been completely wrong and did not know where and why,
your own answer leaves a lot to be desired as you have informed the group
you are now a self elected expert, that you DO know better, but that you are
not bothering to give any details.

You would be better off not posting at all with an attitude like that.

The best answers I see entail multiple people dotting each others i's and
crossing their t's in a complimentary fashion - everyone gets to learn. Not
everyone is an MVP or has time to always provide the most detailed answer,
or has time to research and include links to authoritative resources. Often
too, the most frequently correct answer is given as a solution to a problem.

Could you have contributed positively to the OP's question? You claim to be
able to, but did not. That failing is in your court and no one elses.
