Re: Document on Ambiguity

For a document otherwise written in (impressively!) simple language, hauling in "technical debt", a term with a broad variety of unrecognized variation in meaning, does not seem desirable.

I perceive ambiguity as arising from some combination of "you don't know what you want your grammar to do" and "you don't know how to make a grammar that does what you want" (which has subcases of "a grammar can't do that" and "learn more about grammar mechanisms") and it might be useful to make all of these explicit in the text.
