JFS: But human language is not perfect. Frans de Waal, for example,
said that chimpanzees understand human intentions more clearly
than most humans -- primarily because they are not deceived by

Yes. There are many complex issues. But Frans de Waal has written
several books about the complex behavior, intelligence, and social
interactions of chimps and bonobos among themselves and with the
humans who interact with them.
You can also find many of his talks and interviews on the WWW.
For example, see his Ted Talk about "Moral behavior":

For more detail, see the interview of F. de W. with Alan Alda:
