Warptime Chaos psychic power: rerolling ALL hits and wounds or ones that you choose?

Summary
Warptime (Codex: Chaos Space Marines p88) has a basic issue with poorly written wording that results in needing to rely heavily on interpretation, and to a certain extent RAI (even this is guesswork).

"The power is used at the start of any player's turn. If successful, the psyker may re-roll all rolls to hit and rolls to wound for the entirety of that player's turn."

The arguments for each point of view are basically these:

The arguments that all rolls are re-rolled regardless of their original result
• RAW clearly states that all to wound and to hit rolls may be re-rolled.
• The 'may' in the rule says you have a choice of either to roll all or none of the rolls as you choose.
• There is no specific 'exception' modifier, nor wording to indicate that there is a choice of which can be re-rolled, meaning that they all have to.

The arguments that allow you to choose which rolls to re-roll
• RAW clearly states that all to wound and to hit rolls may be re-rolled. What it doesn't say is that all of those particular rolls must be re-rolled or none.
• The 'all' in the rule means more than one of all the to hit or to wound rolls – not the full total of all those rolls (or none). Or to put that another way: it means that for all the rolls that fill the criteria, you are allowed to re-roll any of them as you want.
• The 'may' in the wording indicates "may re-roll", as in, you do not have to re-roll anything you do not want to, indicating you have an option of which ones to re-roll.
