The "||" are pipe bars, not exclamations.
Not when double. The || is a "conditional or," meaning do the command on the right if the command on the left returns a failed (non-zero) exit status.
The diagnostic came from the ! in the string.
What Carlos is guessing is that instead of "||" Duaine/Laura entered "!!" instead.
Exactly. I tried to mistype the command here, but I didn't get a similar result, so I really don't know. Mmm... looking again, I see an exclamation at the end of the original command.
