Converting from QML to Text

While so far we have been exploring translating from the low featured QTEXT to BQL and then finally to QTI or QML, now, when trying to convert the other way, we find we are doing more than just tree conversions, we have to make deductions about what a question is trying to say, and how, therefore, its data might be recast into another format.

Lets for example think of a very complex multiple response question:



---MCQ---
Which of these are valid responses to belonging to unappealing social groups?
A) Leave the group
B) Seek to change the group
C) Remain in the group but complain about it intensely
D) Do passive aggressive things like wearing slovenly clothes whenever the group meets
E) Try to change your attitude to see the good in each member of the group


We might use a question like this to see if someone is coherent in their thinking (regardless of which strategy they use). (A) on its own is valid if defeatest (E) on its own is valid but maybe a bit airy-fairy - (B) on its own is a bit overambitious - but (B) and (E) together seems like a wonderful strategy. (C) and (D) if done together are very negative, but still coherent. However if anyone choses either (C)or(D) AND any of (A)(B)or(E) - then they are obviously a basket case (which is probably overdoing it - since most of us are contradictory at various points in our lives). Based on that reasoning I have tried to produce some QML below with scoring to reflect the best strategy.

Now from reading this, the only thing it can really end up as in QTEXT terms would be
---MCQ---
Which of these are valid responses to belonging to unappealing social groups?
Leave the group
@Seek to change the group
Remain in the group but complain about it intensely
Do passive aggressive things like excessive slovenliness of clothes whenever the group meets
@Try to change your attitude to see the good in each member of the group

- which is to say, set the "true" answers to be that of the **choices implied by the highest-scoring outcome**.

In this example we see a massive loss of the original data when "compressed" into the new format. But this is the curse of readability
