JanZerebecki added a comment. Write code for data that is ranked properly. But even with properly ranked data everything needs to cope with multiple answers that are contradictory. See it as multiple possible realities. Being able to cope with this is designed into Wikidata and thus needs to carry over to something that queries Wikidata in a generic fashion.
Finding the items that can be corrected in an automatic or human assisted fashion would be a good use case for a WDQ service :) . For very clear cut cases like non-overlapping dates of population counts with no other qualifiers it is probably easy to find someone to make a bot run to correct those on wikidata.org , if there was a way to get a list. ( http://wdq.wmflabs.org can not express a query for that.) For the cases were someone wants to write code to be more clever based on qualifiers, that work should be done in a way that leads to correcting the actual data. (Btw. idea added there: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Constraint_violation_report_input&diff=prev&oldid=178922838 ) For cases where one wants a query result to represent a certain view on reality that cleverness (or at least instructing it) needs to be in the query and not in the service.
