The '!' marker means "optional and sufficient", not just "sufficient". Here's
some text from the stapprobes man page:

====
       However, a probe point may be followed by a "?" character, to  indicate  
       that it is optional, and that no error should result if it fails to re-  
       solve.  Optionalness passes down through all levels  of  alias/wildcard  
       expansion.  Alternately, a probe point may be followed by a "!" charac-  
       ter, to indicate that it  is  both  optional  and  sufficient.
