The quotes can also be excused as an inconsequential grammatical
mistake, or as indicating unfamiliarity with the terminology, supporting
interpretation (1).

This doesn't follow.  It's most sensible to choose the most plausible

definitions are to be used implausibly.

You also have the option to determine that the message is void due
to ambiguity.
