What's more likely: a precise description of an ambiguous world, or an ambiguous description of a precise world?

This is the modernist fallacy: to think that conceptual blurriness correctly describes a blurry world.

To me, this is silly and irrational. Ambiguous theories are flawed; they aren't positive arguments for "true ambiguity".
