I think people often fail to grasp why natural language works for humans. It is because we can have a conversation back and forth and supplement with other things like illustrations or drawings.
That I can explain task to a programmer in natural language and that he can implement it, is only possible because he can ask questions back and gradually build up a mental model.
These natural language solutions often lack this feedback loop mechanism.
When you don’t have feedback you are better off with a more precise and more mathematical language.
