I'm reminded of Lojban which is a constructed language designed to be unambiguous. I think there's an underemphasis on semantics in a lot of fields. Errors like this should just not happen. I don't see much reason to require it outside of academia however. Where would life be without double entendre? Also, I don't think you realize how many different definitions of model there are.
If you're never ambiguous, your vocabulary is too large.
Leaving aside "Model" as a proper name, I think there is just one concept there, specialised in many different ways.
