Also, I would just like to point out that you could dust a table (to clean it), or you could dust a table (with flour to prepare it for kneading bread). In this case even your knowledge of tables and crops won't save you. Instead you must rely on your knowledge of the properties of flour (sticks to things unless covered in drier flour) and people's general goals when housecleaning. AND you must rely on a general awareness of the context of the statement to determine between the two. AND this is why people with Asperger's syndrome think us "neuro-typicals" are all liars, our use of metaphor, inference, context clues to communicate.
