====== Factual question structure ======
This is for any **factual** question. This is intended to exclude “like” questions that are common on social media, as these tend to be more divisive. Don't use this type for questions like “do you agree with …” which belong to the Likert type, [[LIKSQ]] — agreement is not factual in the same sense as other objective facts. With factual questions, only one answer is possible.
  * Yes
  * No
  * Don't know, or not sure

Not knowing is different from not understanding the question. Not understanding is covered through [[ch:fields:QAccept]]

It cannot be overemphasised that there needs to be real clarity as to what is verifiably a fact. If there are reasonable differences of opinion on something that some people may think of as factual, this should be recognised by formulating it as one of the other question structures, perhaps [[AORBQ]]. 

===== Data structure =====

Nothing is needed in the data structure for these questions,
beyond what is in the [[ch:ia:question-info]]
===== Commentary =====
