In this questionthis question Bertrand's answer is better because he linked to a blog post from an upstream developer with much better information.

I think my answer got top voted because I happened to post first and he came along later with a better answer. What's the desired behavior here, should I nick the information from his answer into mine since it's already at the top or do we just encourage people to vote my answer down and his up?
