2 down = best answer?

One of my answers got 2 'down' votes, worse than any other responses, yet it got chosen as 'best answer.' Why?

    Don't worry about it - I once got a BA with 3 TU and 12 TD.The TU/TD are generally given by those answering the same and other questions,votes come from a relatively smaller group who vote regularly and don't really look at that as a factor;when I vote I vote for what I think is the best answer,not what other people who have read the answer think about it.

    The answer you did the pack and intact to the questions is better you will be the best answer.How come other answer isn't deserve to be the answer key because very poor of details and most important the support in your answer and why it should this do you have an extra-ordinary ideas and thinking.

    If you got two thumbs down then two users did not agree with your answer. At the end of the day it is the Asker who decides on the best answer and the Asker certainly liked your answer and picked it as best answer.

    Other people chose it as BA. I use YA on my phone with a not-very-good touchscreen, and occasionally my clumsy fingers accidentally hit TD instead of TU. I feel bad but there is no way to change it.
