Suppose I respond by saying, "That's kind of ambiguous. I think you mean XYZ, but it could also mean UVW or even RST. Could you clarify, please?"
Suppose the person did mean XYZ.
Is that person justified in saying, "If you understood I meant XYZ, the original statement was not ambiguous and you're just showing off"?
