This is not a problem with stackexchange but to be expected when you
communicate with people.

In all ((la)tex and non latex support) chanels I have visited over
the years (usenet, email, forum, tex.sx) I had cases where I wrote
an answer, got greatful "this works great" feetbacks and then
realised that  I had written nonsense.  

And I saw cases where people sticked stubbornly to a rubbish
solution even if they were told that it would bite them and that
they are better alternatives.

Expecting that every vote or tick is correct means that you expect
that everyone carefully test solutions, spent time to ponder over
them and don't make errors when judging the code -- not a very
probably scenario.
