Here's what you can do.
Explanation:
Your approach will actually depend on your status on the site.
if you're a newcomer to Socratic, you won't be able to edit the answer or post an alternative answer, but you can leave a comment in the comments section pointing out the error.
If the original contributor doesn't reply, send me a note or @mention me in the comments section and I'll swing by and deal with the inaccurate answer.
If you're not a newcomer, you can
- edit the answer to correct the error
- post an alternative answer and flag the inaccurate one
- flag and/or report the inaccurate answer
- leave me a note or @mention me in the comments section
As a side note, the answer that you mentioned as an example was already marked for deletion, so I just went ahead and deleted it now :D
