Yup, that's the precedent bit I mentioned. They're both valid ways of deciding ambiguity (a judge decides in this situation and other judges aren't obligated to decide the same way, or lawyers debate the ambiguity, a jury decides, and courts strive for consistency), but they're fundamentally different and slightly bewildering to people from the other model.

Purely an answer to the question "I mean, how different could they really be?โ€: fundamentally different in an almost unrecognizable way.
