That's the joke. Everyone in the book thought it was THE ANSWER - but it wasn't. It was wrong.

I think it's a bit more subtle than that, it's not clear if the answer is wrong, the question is wrong, or both are correct and the universe is wrong (although the story does hint towards one in particular being wrong).
