Yet it's clear that comedians get hauled over the coals on a regular basis for this very issue despite the clear relationship that exists! I suppose you could argue that when you take possession of the ticket you a contract to perceive the performance in a very specific way! Where do we draw the line?

I agree, but doesn't "seen" by definition imply ambiguity?

Those who "see" like those who "behold" make assumptions about the observations of others.
