Words simply have more meaning than their denotive meaning. No one (as in really, no one) does not believe that. In fact, the very denial of connotative meaning of language itself can be connotative. You must understand the context of speech to understand it. There are countless examples, from the benign to the political. Here's a benign one: It is raining. It is a dog. What is "it" in both sentences, does it denote the same thing? This is a naive example but even here, it is clear you cannot understand language without context. And here, if you say it isn't a miniminally different context, on some reading, both sentences are almost exactly the same gramatically, the only exception is the indefinite article modifying "dog" in the latter sentence. Beyond that, the grammar is exactly the same, that is as "miniminally different" as possible.
