Answer, answerer and downvote are not normally capitilized mid sentance. Some other minor tweeks to grammar and such.

When I see an Answeranswer that is code only, I believe that the Answereranswerer created the code because they felt it was better in some way. If the Answeranswer is better in some way, but the Answerer hasn't explained why, I feel that it is still a review, but one that I would downvote until the Answereranswerer explains why/how their code is better than the OPOP's.

In this case, I look at the How do I use the Low-quality posts queue? and in the section marked Basic Workflow, it says:

Choose Looks OK for questions that are on-topic, sufficiently detailed and not too broad. Use this option for answers that answer the question as asked, even if they may be incorrect.

So, this is the option that I would choose,. I would also comment on the answer, asking the answerer to explain the code, and Down votedownvote the answer (when. When the answerer edits in the explanation, then I canwould then change my vote).
