Jim That sounds like a fun idea. If you used the method I shared, or any other one similar, you could interrogate Watson (and any other such programs) and start reverse-engineering machine reasoning via deliberate, contextual Q&A.
The primary benefit of this approach would be that: 1) not only would your results be relatively verifiable, but 2) the notation allows for your learning to be expressed in a natural BAA (Blocks And Arrows) language seamlessly suitable for computational (re)integration. Hope the suggestion is helpful.

So I started with my usual, fairly sophisticated, ideas, but then I started wondering how I could get them to work with a search engine like Watson. If you are going to try to Interface with an existing search engine you are going to get stuck with their limitations. And then I realized the question was not whether I could get Watson to hold a conversation in order to make more intelligent searches, but whether I could learn how it interprets certain forms of statements and then use that as a way of communicating with it and thereby making it look more like it is communicating with me. In the end I might not get it to learn - through conversation - to find the kind of information that I might be interested in, but I might be able to learn something about the way it "thinks" and then use this to make a more sophisticated user interface. I am seriously thinking about pursuing this. I assume that IBM is still letting developers access Watson online in some form.
