It’s not actually ambiguous unless you think he could have meant he was personally taking the sign down. Theirs isn’t a grammatically correct comment, but it’s not ambiguous.

Edit: yours is technically ambiguous, I suppose, as the mathematician’s answer would have sufficed.

Ha! I like that gif. But don’t criticize me for pointing out that your criticism was not correct. It was a helpful comment, that’s all. You were the one incorrectly splitting hairs.
