Hmmm, perhaps a friendly retrieval expert should accept statements from the user
like "Dont tell ME how to think!", deduce that there is some ambiguity of
interpretation over the meaning of a request, and ask for explicit
disambiguation of the troublesome operators after each future request, until the
user decides to pick and live with a single unambiguous interpretation.
