On non-conflicting (original/factual) contexts, opinion-based and combined prompts yield exact-match scores of 57.2%–80.1%, showing no performance degradation compared to base prompting.
Summary
Even when you swap in opinion-heavy or mixed prompt styles, straightforward factual questions still get answered just as well as they would with a basic prompt. This means the system can safely use richer prompting strategies without risking a drop in accuracy on simple, well-defined queries.
