I really don't think making protocols less understandable by humans will solve anything.

This has always been and always will be a hard problem. Consider this quote which I found in The Shellcoder's Handbook:

"Wherever terms have a shifting meaning, independent sets of considerations are liable to become complicated together, and reasonings and results are frequently falsified." -- Ada Lovelace

We've known about this since literally the beginning; we'll be cursing ourselves over it until the very end. Vulnerabilities are going nowhere.
