ABSTRACT
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In cooperative man-machine interaction, it is necessary but not sufficient for a system to respond truthfully and informatively to a user's question. In particular, if the system has reason to believe that its planned response might mislead the user, then it must block that conclusion by modifying its response.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This paper focusses on identifying and avoiding potentially misleading responses by acknowledging types of &amp;quot;informing behavior&amp;quot; usually expected of an expert. We attempt to give a formal account of several -types of assertions that should be included in response to questions concerning the achievement of some goal (in addition to the simple answer), lest the questioner otherwise be misled.</Paragraph>
