There's nobody else to interpret the wording for him. Or rather: If
somebody else were to do an interpretation, their only means of
communicating their interpretation to Anthony would be more words -
and then Anthony agains has to decide what *those* words mean.

Refusing to interpret natural language equals refusing to partake in
any social processes (such as construction of a free OS) whatsoever.
