I've also usually done OK when i come across these types of answers. I mean when I see it as answer to other people's questions. I have never needed to actually ask my own question in about 15 years of using it - which is testament to how many answers are already on there somewhere. It's very much not evidence that I know stuff.

I think sometimes it takes lateral thinking or jargon translation to interpret the old answer in context of the new question - which could make the old answer inaccessible to the new person - however technically applicable it might be.
