About Consistency on Audits - Review Audit Failed Case

I have experienced this situation multiples times already.

It is related to doing a review for Late Answers or for First Posts, where the content includes a Link-Only answer.

Then in presence of uncertain, I used these two criteria:

  1. I used to evaluate the consistency looking for similar answers into the original question's body or

  2. if in my opinion, the inclusion of a summary or introduction, related to the link is redundant or does not matter, then I consider that the answer can be considerate as valid. (especially for new users that do not have enough score to comment)

For example, In the question: What is the android.widget.Toast equivalent for iOS applications?

I have been tested with:

late answer review audit failure

So looking the body of the question and its accepted/voted answers, I could see similar answers with positive votes, like these:

examples of upvoted answers

That made me think, the review as valid, But at the end, as you can see in the first image, my review was evaluated as a fail.

So, can I conclude that Stack Overflow principles about not accepting link-only answers is more significant than the real utility of the answer itself?
