You're trying to apply logic to English? You're also assuming people actually think about what they're saying or even know the so called rules of English. If that were the case we wouldn't have people mixing up their/there/they're or your/you're its/it's etc.
Fact of the matter, if everything you said were true, we wouldn't have people wishing for a way to clarify and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
