Each has its place --- I believe that ambiguity and precision do not necessarily negate one another, nor that one has to choose only one form. On the contrary, I think of them as both being very useful and, when used wisely, even complementing each other. Use precision when an item being discussed is not for negotiation, and use ambiguity when different interpretations (or misinterpretations!) could be to your advantage.
