This is about a particular flag about this answer that got declined:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxErhxEbQcA&feature=plcp is a good video. Start at ep 11 and work your way through the SSL bits.

The flag I raised was "not an answer" ("This was posted as an answer, but it does not attempt to answer the question. It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether.)

The flag got declined with the following reason: "flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer"

I was not meant to say the answer was inaccurate or wrong. I flagged it as a non-answer because it was a link to a video without any context. It's a low-quality answer that rather should have been stated as a comment.

The Help section is quite clear about that.
