At the end of the day, if there is no definitive answer to a question, it should respond in such a manner. "While there are compelling reasons to think A or B, neither A nor B have been verified. They are just the leading theories." That would be a much better answer than "Option A is the answer even if some people think B is." when A is just as unproven as B, but because it answers so definitively, people think it is the right answer.

So the labels thing is something that obviously will never work. But the system has all of the information it needs to know if the question is definitively answerable. If it is not, do not phrase the response definitively. At this point, I'd be happy if it responded to "Is 1+1 = 2?" with a wish washy answer like, "Most people would agree that 1+1 = 2", and if it wanted to say "in base 10, that is the correct answer. however, in base 2, the 1+1 = 10" would also be acceptable. Fake it till you make it is not the solution here.
