Flag on troll answer declined: are these answers really acceptable?

$

A question was posted which had asked for some simple code that chooses a random name from an array in Objective-C.

An answer was subsequently posted which contained the following:

NSString * getRandomString(NSArray * names) {     return "RandomName"; // Joke}

I then flagged the post with a custom flag, noting that it was a troll answer which was not really intended to answer the question. This flag was later declined, saying that "flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer".

Are these answers really posts that should be kept and accepted?
