No I did not. I am a native English speaker. The problem is that that 
sentence is ambigious, and does parse either way. Since the sentence is not 
absurd when parsed without implicit repetition (when parsed as I did for 
pointing out the problem), then the use of an abigious structure causes a 
major problem. So do not construct futher sentences in that fashion unless 
it is evident that the simplier parsing is almost certainly incorrect as the 
resulting meaning would be rediculous.
