"I saw her duck" - how much would you be willing to bet on the intended meaning of this sentence?

English isn't a good programming language if you want to trust that the output will be as you want it to be. High level code has no room for ambiguity - that's why we use it. It's a concise, very explicit language to tell the compiler exactly what to do.
