Irrelevant responses are those that are not responsive to the Tutor’s comments but are nonetheless substantive.[1] The example below is an example of an irrelevant but substantive response:
-Tutor: It seems reasonable? -Tutee: That the Earth is accelerating. -Tutor: Because of these masses. -Tutee: [tutee laughs] No. Those are some pretty big masses. ---> irrelevant substantive response
