RE: The power of ambiguity and of ambiguity minimization in communication

[dana-edwards]

There are benefits to ambiguity but there are costs. There are benefits to ambiguity minimization and there are costs. It depends on the level of communication you seek and how formal it has to be. For serious communication there should be minimization particularly if you seek some kind of agreement. This minimization is not trivial, but dealing with ambiguity is computationally expensive.
