Saying that doesn't fix the problem though

Doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.

That doesn't make the problem go away.

Won't solve the fundamental issue.

That doesn't solve any problems.

KirinDave Apr 22, 2018 View on HN

That doesn't really solve the problem at all though.

There's no point in mentioning something that doesn't solve the issue.

That's because the underlying problem has not been solved

darkcha0s Jun 18, 2019 View on HN

That doesn't solve any of the aforementioned problems.
