My answer to a question was deleted under homework policy. The question didn't seem like homework. It was a genuine doubt why the user was getting a wildly different answer than the solution.

In my eyes, it's the "check-my-work" part of the policy that applies here - technically, it's the work in the linked video were supposed to scrutinize (which additionally makes the question prone to link rot if the video vanishes), but the essence is the same: The question asks about the correctness of a specific calculation, and your answer points about the specific part of that calculation that is wrong.

I could understand if people disagree with this interpretation - if the question is reopened, please flag the answer so it can be undeleted.
