Ambiguous means unclear meaning, not that there is more than one way to achieve the same thing.

Html has that same problem. Think <b>, <strong>, <p style=“font-weight: 900;”>, etc.

That’s life. Get used to it.

Those three are not the same thing though. They might render the same visually with the most popular visual user agents, but that's about it

Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck… but is semantically different, except for when most people interact with them.

My point wasn’t that they are identically - my point is that 99% of the time they achieve the same effect. Or they would be if I had swapped the <p> tag for a <span> tag.

<b> is now hilariously called the "bring attention to" element. I shit you not.

That's the sort of "we started at the acronym and worked backwards" approach the Pentagon loves to do.
