Saying that doesn't fix the problem though

Doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.

gsich • Jan 13, 2021 • View on HN

That doesn't make the problem go away.

Won't solve the fundamental issue.

Seems like you're not addressing the root problem.

devishard • Mar 21, 2016 • View on HN

That doesn't solve any problems.

KirinDave • Apr 22, 2018 • View on HN

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

dchest • Aug 3, 2024 • View on HN

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

abstractspoon • Jan 9, 2026 • View on HN

That's because the underlying problem has not been solved

That doesn't solve any of the aforementioned problems.
