Why do we have to settle on a single meaning for a term/phrase?    (03)

Can't there be multiple meanings... like in the real world.    (04)


Only concession we'd need to make is to have a mechanism that EXPLICITLY
states the context which then indicates which meaning is meant... just
like in the real world.    (05)


Surely we're not going down the road of one word = one meaning across
all contexts?    (06)
