What exactly does ambiguity mean? If it means that sentences in the KR have multiple meanings, then all KRs are necessarily ambiguous. This is because information content of the world >> information content of the representation. The question is whether we should use a "NL-like" KR. If we use NL as the KR, every thought would involve abductive interpretation, which is very time-consuming. An alternative is to decompress NL texts and then compress the information again using *another* format. This new format may be easier to decompress later. (NL is difficult to decompress). Maybe the human brain's KR is also different from NL...
