It's a good point, that different interpretations of the same sentence can lead to pointless debate. Unfortunately, I guess the main way to improve semantic clarity around an argument would be with more information up front, which would simultaneously raise the barrier to entry. Right now Saysaw aims to boil complex issues down into something which can quickly and easily provide a general overview of public opinion.
Perhaps the answer is to allow 'splitting' an debate when it becomes clear that more than one issue is really being discussed. That would mean you could retain the simplicity and low barrier to entry, while avoiding situations where discussions get off topic.
