You don't know what you're talking about (most people on here do not).

  After an ansatz, which constitutes nothing more than an assumption, has been established, the equations are solved more precisely for the general function of interest, which then constitutes a confirmation of the assumption. In essence, an ansatz makes assumptions about the form of the solution to a problem so as to make the solution easier to find

I don't see where this contradict my statement. A good answer does not means the formula used is correct.
