BUG: Inconsistent tagging in NASB95

I ran the rhetorical question search that was in a recent blog (https://www.logos.com/grow/how-to-find-rhetorical-questions-in-the-bible/). In the first attempt (NASB95: Paragraph Version) the Luke 1:43 passage was not included. As this was different from what MP had shown in the blog I ran it again using NASB95: 1995 Update, which was the same version MP used. Both show 56 results. The first is missing Luke 1:43 while the second is missing Luke 13:4.

Which text is actually WITHIN the other?  I tried reversing the terms:-

{Section <Sentence ~ Interrogative>} WITHIN {Section <SpeechAct = Info: Assert>} and got many more results in Luke that included both passages.

Note that {Section <SpeechAct = Info: Assert>} INTERSECTS {Section <Sentence ~ Interrogative>} gave the same results in Luke as INTERSECTS ensures there is some overlap between the two texts.

A more direct approach is to use {Label Question WHERE Rhetorical=true} and you will find that Lk 1.43 is classed as rhetorical whilst Lk 13.4 is not (found with Rhetorical=false).

"The Questions in the Bible dataset is an extension of the Sentence Types of the Old Testament, Speech Acts of the Old Testament, Sentence Types of the New Testament, and Speech Acts of the New Testament datasets. Given the importance of questions for theological reflection, this dataset attempts to further examine question types to provide users with more information about questions."

I'm sure you will have your own opinion about rhetorical questions[H]

I was simply observing that there was a difference between the two NASB95 editions that presumably are the same except for the paragraphing. As it is also a simple example taken from the blog post, one that is restricted in its query and one that is only looking in Luke, I have a suspicion that this may be an indication of the presence of tagging differences between the two NASB95 editions. I had expected them two be the same.

The two are tagged the same but your query was incorrect as it is important to know which text is likely to be WITHIN the other! You were comparing a larger body of text (Speech Acts) covering all of Lk 1 and Lk 13 to a smaller body covering several verses of both chapters.

Reversing the terms (smaller WITHIN larger) will give you correct results:-

{Section <Sentence ~ Interrogative>} WITHIN {Section <SpeechAct = Info: Assert>}

I also noted that INTERSECTS will detect any overlap between the two texts.

You'll notice that there is an extra result for Luke 1:43 in the NASB95 Update edition as compared to the NASB96 Paragraph Version edition.

You are correct that the Aligned view shows the different result counts for verse 43 and that is due to the way that the reverse interlinear aligns the untranslated Greek word touto (the count is 1 for SBLGNT). But the important thing is that the verse is included in both sets and that both sets include the same 152 verses (not just the number) i.e. the total results count (253) could have been different, but they still represent the same interrogative data. 

If you look at Lk 1.18, the result count is 1 despite the number of words added and inserted by the translation.

Whilst it may have been instructive for query formulation and understanding the basis of tagging for this type of data, it certainly is not the most reliable way to find rhetorical questions.

Lol inconsistent tagging everywhere in logos going on 5 years now- I have resources that avg 25-30% tagging left untouched- I no longer have confidence that the items I get will be tagged the way they were 10 yrs ago

As I stated above, the differences between the two NASB translations is not not due to the "tagging". One original language bible is tagged and the results are only available to a translation (ESV, NASB, etc.) that has a reverse interlinear to match original language words to the words in the translation. The differences here are due to the reverse interlinears (and the Search) BUT verse 43 still reflects the tagging for Interrogative phrases.
