Coming soon... I promise. The actual idea is simple. Natural language as you correctly point out is beyond any clean/perfect theory. Besides it's constantly changing. An admin needs to constantly patch an NLI system to achieve high recall (e.g. over 90% of the reasonable questions posed can be answered) and high precision (e.g. over 90% of those questions that are answered are answered correctly). In all cases in which the system answers, it must paraphrase the query back to the user so that they understand if they were misunderstood. Of course any user will always be able to ask a question that the NLI will fail on. For example asking an inventory database "what's the meaning of life" will not lead to an intelligent response.
