Is “Don't do it” a valid answer?

More specifically, what should be done when an "answer" simply says "you're doing it wrong". All questions have answers, but even "the wrong way to do it" could still be the right (or only) answer.

For example:

How do I jump off a bridge?

Bad answer: You shouldn't do that, you could kill yourself. Why would you want to jump anyway?

Good answer: Step up and take a leap of faith! Consider using a cord to catch your fall!

I feel like I am being a complete prick if I down vote or flag the answer, but is that basically what needs to be done?
