My chatterbot received the definition by WolframAlpha, per as what it's programmed. It found the entity was "sentence" and then looked for a definition. It does not simply grab whatever WolframAlpha response it can find.

Evidence for this lies in the fact that for the last hour, WolframAlpha was down for my bot due to excessive requests- and yet, no-one has noticed until this point- proving that there is significantly more to the algorithm then merely scraping their API.
