Enum Standing 

pub enum Standing {
    Open,
    Answered,
    Partly,
    Validated,
    PartlyValidated,
    Refuted,
    PartlyRefuted,
    Disputed,
    Depends,
}

How a question stands, counting what has been said to it.

Derived, never stored. A state field somebody overwrites loses the previous fact, and the previous fact is what makes a hypothesis go back to open on its own when what refuted it is invalidated.

Variants

Open

Nobody has said anything yet.

Answered

Answered, and fully.

Partly

Pushed along: everything that reached it said in part.

Validated

PartlyValidated

Refuted

PartlyRefuted

Disputed

Edges of opposite sign reach it with scopes that touch. The interesting state, and the one a field cannot express.

Depends

Validated in some situations and refuted in others, without touching.

Not in part and not a dispute: the answer depends. A alone improves, A+B cancel out is the most informative outcome an investigation gives, and calling it Partly hid it under the word for a half-answered question.
