I, at least, have agreed with you and your Auntie Nelda.
And I think that Richard has also agreed about this.
FWIW, I said so (in emacs-devel@gnu.org) before Isearch was changed
to provide lax whitespace search as a possibility, and I opposed
(unsuccessfully) making it the default behavior.
For me, as for your Auntie Nelda also, it seems, literal search is
clearest as a default behavior for C-s. I disagree that C-s should
default to a "handy", Emacs-knows-what-you-really-want/need behavior.
