Well, your last example is evidence that there was a successful interpretation of the sentence.

Things like machine translation, text to speech, and natural language understanding will only gradually get better.

If you compare how well something like Siri does now (not very well) to similar “tools” 10 years ago (awful), it’s hard to deny that some progress has been made.
