These examples provide a nice illustration how human language evolution optimizes for most common use cases and basically ignores the worst case scenarios.
Quite a bit different from formal languages where even rare worst cases get a lot of attention (or rather they are designed in a way to avoid worst case scenarios at the cost of making the typical scenarios less efficient).
