> I cannot see a way that those sentences do not both mean the same (nonsensical) thing involving strippers, JFK and Stalin. This specific example is nonsensical to demonstrate the possible confusion, but this sort of confusion is really common. > I think that your analysis in [] is wrong. Your second example says two named items but it still has three - strippers, JFK and Stalin. No, in the second example, JFK and Stalin are two instances of strippers. So there are three nouns, but only two people.
