I had the same thought. Human language is ambiguous precisely because there are so many synonyms, expressions and nuances which are open to interpretation. Sometimes in negotiations, you can say one thing which has two different intents/meanings and you just watch the other person's reaction to decide which path to take the conversation. Sometimes the counterparty needs to know what you're thinking in order to know what you really mean. It wouldn't make sense to ask a machine to guess what the author is thinking when it's faced with ambiguous instructions. It would make debugging impossible.
