The result seemed to make sense to the system, but is irrelevant to the rest.<br />Also, the context of the query (pointed by Mr.Jennings) was disregarded.Ramya Dhanapalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659046078129374897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154288862765044093.post-82264206144037019792011-08-31T14:42:58.398-07:002011-08-31T14:42:58.398-07:00This was a very interesting read.

I guess the basic idea is, no matter what you ask, you must get a reply. Lincoln did just that. He was asked a question (no matter how absurd) and he replied. I think the reply itself was directly related to the question.Shreejayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02750792499066915736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154288862765044093.post-63697499135391321832011-08-30T23:27:50.372-07:002011-08-30T23:27:50.372-07:00Completely agree with your comment!

As a result Lincoln replies back (search result) that doesn't make any sense (No precision). But then there is Lincoln's assistant (feedback system) which questions the relevance of question. Then Lincoln revises his thought ("Long enough to reach ground" as best answer) and gives the answer as correct one in the end. Its what I think is an IR sketch (except I wish that search engine don't ask for bread, read money, any time soon!).Shubhendra Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349336284890956647noreply@blogger.com
