Can I comment or edit my own best answer?

I made a mistake when answering a question, but my answer was quickly selected as the best answer. I'd like to add a comment correcting the mistake, or edit the answer. But the comment option seems to be greyed out.

This is the question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201401...

Basically, I wrote:

So Earth has a diameter over five times the surface area of Pluto.

I meant to write:

So Earth has a diameter over five times the diameter of Pluto.

    On the new format, no. The 'comment' box below your answer will open, but there's no way to add a comment.

    On the old format (green), it's still possible to comment on a resolved QUESTION, and you could use that option (if you can find a green format!), but the comment will not appear on the purple format.

    ADDED: Since both you and the user who asked the question in your link DO allow email from other Yahoo! Answers users, you could email her the correct information.
