It doesn't just point you in a rough direction. It points you to the definition - like the definition in a dictionary. It doesn't tell you which definition is the one to use - but it would be more that pointing you in a rough direction. The reason we didn't specify that the individual definition be indicated is that it would require that each word with multiple definitions be marked up. That would be a mess.

If the goal is really just to be able to point someone in a rough direction that includes the answer, I suggest that the wording reflect that distinction more carefully.
