Friend swore by duct tape for a pipe leak, I used epoxy instead. Who was right?

My buddy Mike kept saying a wrap of duct tape would hold a pinhole leak under my kitchen sink until the plumber came. I ignored him and grabbed the $8 epoxy putty from the hardware store in Tulsa, pressed it on, and it dripped again within an hour. Mike laughed and taped over the putty, and that held for 3 days straight. So is duct tape actually underrated for emergency fixes, or did I just buy bad epoxy? Has anyone else had a buddy's junk advice oddly work out better than the real solution?
