How logical is it on the Toaster to mark an answer as liked if the author of the question marks it as a solution?
Faced with such a situation. It is not uncommon for questioners to mark answers as solutions without clicking the "like" button. Is there any logic in this or is it all about not being willing to do double work? How logical is it on the Toaster to automatically mark an answer as liked if the author of the question marks it as a solution?

I like it when I can solve a problem, but I don't always like the solution itself.
In addition, there may be several solutions, but only one will please.
These are different things. The "like" button is not the audience's equivalent of the "decision" button. An answer can be a formal solution, but not very well written (solution, don't like it), or it can be questionable as a solution, but it can be well written and provide very useful information on the topic (not a solution, like it), or ingenious (unusual or exceptionally correct (when you really want to say "oh! what you need! I didn’t even count on such an ideal solution!", this happened to me more than once here, on the Toaster, and on StackExchange)) and qualitatively (succinctly, understandably , competently, with examples, illustrations and links) a formalized solution (solution, like it).
What's the point of clicking like? if the author of the answer is given + 1 in the rating when clicking the solution , other users who found this answer good and useful can also vote for the post . But as I understand it, you would like to do two actions at once with one decision button, I don’t see the point in this.
