If you read the judgements and appeals on those you'll see there was a lot of controversy (and I personally believe the wrong decision in 1267). In any case, that was a situation with two "concurrent" statements that didn't actually refer to each other, not statements which have a definite ordering in the message, but at the same time have to be taken as a simultaneous cross-referring whole. That's a different "kind" of ambiguity. -Goethe
