Proto-precedent: ambiguity should be judged on the ability of the poster
to later plausibly choose an interpretation.

That is, if someone says "I deposit 1 WRV in the bank", and can then
later choose the bank that later turns out to have been the more
economically advantageous bank to have deposited in, then this should be
treated as ineffective due to ambiguity; but if only one interpretation
can be made plausible in retrospect, then the announcement should be
treated as unambiguous and effective.

Not saying that's what's going on here, but I'd like to set the policy
before it gets abused.
