"Best Answer" Gets Frustrating?

Maybe I'm just a sore loser, but I feel like people already know the answer they want to hear before they ask it. They're looking for confirmation instead of the right answer. Many times I'll see someone pick a best answer that really isn't even that accurate, instead of the truth.

Just get's frustrating. My question is this...

Is it frustrating to you?

Would you be opposed to Yahoo shifting to more "user rated best-answers?"

Update:

Okay, obviously I'm whining a bit here. Take it with a grain of salt. Thought it would make a good discussion/provide people with an outlet to whine too. : )

    You said he told you to shut up. Sounds to me like you were making noises and that made him frustrated like most men except you husband just responded differently. Most men get frustrated they just do not like to hurt the woman's feeling. If your husband is having a hard time with that muscle try some oils and cream. Stop making those noises.

    Theres no perfect solution, as the votest are biast aswell, ie a question on religion and you get the Christians 'thums downing' the people who disagree with their beliefs.

    But yeah, i do find it frustrating as i gave exactly the same answer as the best answer, but i responded first, and someone else got the points, hows that fair? :S

    Frustrating? No.

    But I DO scratch my head when someone chooses an answer that affirms the asker, despite other answers that are clearly RIGHT but don't agree.

    I mean ... if you were already so sure you KNEW the answer ... why did you bother to ask?

    I know. It gets frustrating when you tell someone what they need to hear, but not necessarily what they WANT to hear and then they choose someone who just obviously wrote an answer they would like. Happens to me all the time, but i still like to feel like even if they didn't choose it as best answer they still took it into consideration.

    and if they don't choose, we get to vote

    sometimes i like the choose option, because when they choose mine i feel like I genuinely helped them.

    heh I don't care about it enough to raise a commotion. My guy friend gives me points all the time because I am at the lowest level but I really don't care.

    everyone thinks different.....we are individuals....the person who asked the question gets to choose a best answer.....don't get butt hurt if you think your answer is the best but wasn't chosen.

    well judging by the fact that you seem a little whiny, I wouldn't expect to get a lot of BAs
