The problem with that is the parser has no reason to treat the strings
as dates, at least not till it comes to consider the BETWEEN
comparisons, which is too late to help in resolving the addition
in the subexpression (data types are determined bottom-up).
This'd work:

 ship_date between '04/30/2010' AND '04/30/2010'::date + 14
