And to this point - the English language has far more ambiguity than most programming languages.

I'm told by my friends who've studied it that Attic Greek - you know, what Plato spoke - is superb for philosophical reasoning, because all of its cases and declinsions allow for a high degree of specificity.

I know Saffir-Whorf is, shall we say, over-determined - but that had to have helped that kind of reasoning to develop as and when and how it did.
