In what scenario might ambiguity arise involving `this`?

Ambiguity involving this can arise when using it as a parameter name. In JavaScript, this typically refers to the context in which a function is executed, providing access to the current object. However, if you name a parameter this, it can create confusion about which this you are referring to—the this of the current scope or the parameter named this. This overlap can lead to ambiguous situations where the context of the reference becomes unclear, potentially causing logic errors in the code.

In contrast, when passing this to a method, or when using it with inherited methods, the context is generally well-defined and does not create ambiguity, assuming proper understanding of the scope. Similarly, static methods, which belong to the class rather than an instance, have a clear context for this, as it does not refer to instance properties. Therefore, these situations do not lead to the same level of ambiguity as naming a parameter this.
