Yes, there is a big difference if you really want to define the
solutions in the question. Actually, it's the same problem in english:
"Do you want milk or sugar?" - "Yes!"  ;-)

In English the question is grammatical and can be interpreted in two ways. In Klingon the question is (apparently) ungrammatical. It's not the same issue.
