Honestly, I think the "if people are drawn to many different conclusions, the wording is bad" argument is a bit silly.
Many people would get the monty hall problem wrong.
Of course it's a "gotcha" question. Monty hall is the same way. But it's not due to the wording. It's due to the fact the answer is different than what you'd likely think it is.
Same thing with the "what's more likely, rolling a both a 6 and an 8 or rolling two 7's first?" Or the poker one, I don't remember exactly, something about picking 3 cards, then if any of those 3 cards (ranks, not including suits) shows up on the flop, the other guy loses.
Same with many riddles.
