Re point 4.
Indeed, Jabberwocky (poem, not the film obv!) is a great example of this. The "nonsense" makes "sense" because you can realise that e.g. Bandersnatch is a "living thing" (proper noun)in context. Add it the skilled creation of nonsense words that, due to similarity to parts of other words, can give a targeted meaning e.g. frumious (as in frumious Bandersnatch) - can arguably give a feeling of the word encompassing (amongst possibly other meanings) furious due to superficial similarity
An AI would have a huge problem with that poem (& also not enjoy it!)
