Definition
Answers are primitives too. A Choice answer carries choice, probabilities, and confidence; a Score answer carries score, legend, probabilities, and confidence; a Noul answer carries a single noul value between 0 and 1 and no separate confidence.
Every answer is constrained to the options or levels you supplied, so code never has to recover a value from generated prose. Answers are also independent, so you can add or remove questions without changing the others' results.
