The argument is probably that while they are the best qualified to know whether it solved their issue, they're not qualified about whether it was the best way to solve their issue, since they had to ask in the first place.

Of all the people involved, he was the one who _didn't_ know how to resolve a specific issue.

Well, they do know the tech stack, the domain, the specific problem. Now they know whether the solution resolved their specific problem, if their code review/testing caught any bugs, etc, etc.

If anything, they have the most amount of information in this context. I really don't think of them as being the least qualified.

Questions and answers belong to the community. I think the accepted answer should too - maybe after some period of time.
