Firstly, I find it really funny to ask for more specification through an example about something being underspecified and maybe that was the point! :D
If it was not a gag then here’s an example based on my interpretation of what #2 is (and I’m happy to be corrected): Imagine that you know that you need to get something done, say you have a deadline on friday and you need to write an essay on a topic like the economics of AI. Yet you don’t know where to start, who’s the audience, what type of frame should you take, what example do you start with?
The uncertainty of the task makes you want to avoid it since you need to pin it down first, it is an ambigious task.
