Digressions allow the user to interrupt the bot when it is asking a question. Say, for example, the user asks for a flower recommendation, then Floria asks for which occassion, a digression is useful if the user responds with ‘Never mind that, when is your store open?’.
Digressions can allow for the bot to answer the new question and then return to the old question, though it also has the flexibility to continue in other ways as well.
Without digressions, our best hope is to ask the question again with modified wording.
With digressions, we can answer the second question, then return to asking the original question.
