Wrong and wrong
this strawman view is not founded on any true principle
if a person does not understand a word context is not going to help them
when the Bible says we have been baptized into Christ. By the word alone, context will not let the reader know if it is water baptism (found by looking in the English dictionary) or if it is the person who is placed into Christ by God himself ( by using the Greek word)
again, that argument would be null and void if the authors of the KJV interpreted the word instead of transliterate the word to make a new word, which has been thoroughly misrepresented,

The first mention of the word "grace" is found in Genesis 6, "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Most new versions use the word favor instead of grace. One would not understand, just through reading the bible, that God showed Noah grace and therefore saved him aboard the ark. The connection with saving grace is lost.

Not if you do not understand the word. And then try to look it up in the dictionary,
most people, even christians, think everytime they see the word baptize it automatically means water
if they properly translated the word, that would not be an issue, because the word baptized would not have to be interpreted by an English dictionary. There would be no question

Tell that to the laymen who tries not to assume anything, but looks up words to try to see what is being said.
and also tell that to all the water baptismal regeneration people who believe water baptism is required for salvation, all because of a word that was never translated. But one that was made up.
God did not inspire the KJV authors to transliterate a word instead of translate it. Especially when there was no need to unless you believed something and wanted to keep that belief possible
