Ironically, I’m honestly unable to interpret your response. Are you listing examples of sentences that are 100% unambiguous, in conjunction with a third sentence that is unintelligible?
If that is the case, then it doesn’t invalidate what I’m saying. I’m not saying it’s impossible to create unambiguous statements. What we’re talking about here is complex conversational speech, especially in regards to sensitive topics that people feel strongly about. And specifically, we’re talking about the usage of such speech in everyday interactions, in which words have to be formed on the fly at a rapid pace.

nothing nearly as heady, mate. Just pointing out the obvious trope about wish spells backfiring because unambiguous wording is absurdly difficult. It's all throughout media -- so your argument must be something that people should be able to easily intuit.
I'm agreeing with you.

Brings to mind the (quite funny) movie 'Bedazzled'.
However Brendan Fraser's character tries to phrase his wishes, the devil finds a way to mess him up.
He is talking about how Dungeon Masters can interpret https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Wish any way they like.
(never played D&D myself)

Oil lamp genies try to fulfill your wishes in the worst way possible.
