| Mar 19, 2019 at 6:21 | comment | added | pomsky | @Dan Is that always the case? Here's a hypothetical example: suppose there is a question related to a very specific hardware. There is an identical question about the same hardware with an answer. Now I wouldn't upvote the answer even though it "looks valid" to me as I am unable to explicitly check the validity of the answer (don't have the specific hardware). In that case the fact that the answer is accepted is good enough for me to consider it as a valid candidate for a dupe. It's quite hard to always have 5 reviewers/close-voters with firsthand experience, especially for a niche question. | |

The system won't allow that for a good reason, as it considers the other question as answered. And there is an easy solution to overcome if the answer to that question is valid in one's opinion. They just upvote the answer. If they don't think it's worthy of an upvote, then it shouldn't be worthy to be a valid candidate for a dupe. | |
