But why would staying long on a web site correctly indicate the page provided the answer? Is you spent a short amount it could also indicate you found what you were looking for, and off you went.

That's the neat part: it doesn't!
It's a situation where Google doesn't benefit much more from it being the actual answer, and the site doesn't either.
In the long run it could have an impact on the user perception, that could be nullified by the page still staying ranked higher than the competiting pages and the user finding nowhere else better.
And how would google know if you didn't make another request
