What do to when all answers apply to a single question?

When fixing a result, if all answers apply to a question, what is the best thing to do :

- Checking every answer?
- Marking the question as "irrelevant" to the result?

Thank you!

Hey remi- Irrelevant should only be used if the answers to the question have no bearing on the rank of that result. It's perfectly fine to train a result with all the responses to the question.

what do you mean by "the rank of that result"?

By rank, we mean how all the results in a topic are ordered given the questions the user has answered (both in the topic and about themselves). You can think of every result as either moving up or down in ranking based on whether the answers associated with it match answers that the user gives. So if a question shouldn't move a result up or down in the rankings no matter how the user answers it, that question should be marked as "irrelevant".

For example, a question in the cars topic about what type of four-wheel drive you want is irrelevant to a car that doesn't have four wheel drive.
