I need some clarification on reviewing First/Low Quality Posts.

I encountered (and failed) this audit which is basically the answer "Use a physical keyboard" to the question "How do I boot a laptop with a non-working keyboard?" The answer is short, but in my opinion otherwise factually correct/helpful.

Is this answer's length the issue? Do we not want one-line answers that would otherwise solve the OP's problem/question? To that point I could see commenting to encourage the poster to add an explanation why this solution would work, but that wouldn't have materially changed the answer's general approach to the problem.

I frequently refer to this Meta answer when reviewing First Posts. I had used its checklist for common reasons to Flag/Delete when considering this audit's answer:

• Is the post a link only answer? No
• Check for the instance of code if they provide a link. n/a
• Is the person asking a new question? No
• Is the poster answering the question? Yes
• Not relating to the question It's related
• Someone sending a "thanks" to another user No
• The original user posting the answer as the exact copy of someone else's answer (similar to a thanks) No

Meta also has a Low Quality posts guideline answer that doesn't provide clear guidance on dealing with short, non link-only answers. It does however suggest that for

Wrong and unhelpful answers: If you can fix it without making an intrusive edit, do so. Otherwise, leave a comment explaning [sic] what’s wrong and possibly downvote. If there is no other problem, choose Looks OK.

I'm not complaining about failing the audit, but without understanding why I failed it I will likely do so again and fail to support the community's wishes for handling short but otherwise helpful answers.
