What if you never think about the interpretation? Or is this how you would interpret them? Define would, then.
If you think about the interpretation, then you can already explain it. The problem is because you don't actually think about every aspect and possibility while wishing.
Even if you never think about the interpretation, most aspects of wishes will have an implicit interpretation based on your values. You may never have thought about whether wishing for long life should turn you into a fungal colony, but if you had been asked "does your wish for long life mean you'd want to be turned into a fungal colony", you'd have said "no".
