Natural language does not have a specification, while both C and assembly do.

The C specification is orders of magnitude more complex and is much less defined than assembly. Arguably, the same could be said comparing natural language with C.

I admit that's mostly philosphical. But I think saying 'C can autogenerate reliable assembly, therefore a specification can autogenerate reliable C' is also about two different problems.
