Would make more sense if it was not written in a natural language such as English, but Lojban instead. It is not ambiguous at all (but can be made). The difference is that natural languages are naturally ambiguous, whereas Lojban is not, but can be made so, for poetry or whatever.

Every language is ambiguous. There's a gap between language (description) and reality. No formal logic can bridge this.
Legal English isn't natural English.
I do not see how a subset of English could be called unnatural, as opposed to Lojban.
