It's a ridiculous assertion. There is no correct, deterministic path from natural language expressions to directed machine behavior, as there is no correct, deterministic natural language expression in the first place. It's not static, it has varying levels of precision, meaning is context and listener dependent, natural grammars are descriptive not prescriptive, speaker perspectives are regional, historical, fluid, metacognitive, and full of ambiguity as feature, and always in need of hermeneutic methods to adjust and adjudicate interpretations. There is almost nothing about natural language use that ought to lead anyone to believe we are going to get computers to understand our requirements any better than we do, which often, is very poorly even when we try very hard.
