The point is not whether the use of the word can be ambiguous. The point is whether the use of the word would be ambiguous in the context of the usage and for the intended audience.
If You don't know how the word "fish" is understood amongst the intended audience, then you have no grounds to assert their use of it therefore most therefore prove stupidity or ignorance. At most you might accept there are many possible alternative explanation even if you think such usage can possibly be evidence of stupidity or ignorance.
