OG 10 -Q189

Proponents of artificial intelligence say they will be able to make computers that can understand English and other human languages, recognize objects, and reason （like an expert—computers that will be used for such purposes as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan）.

这个句子是正确的，like an expert不会有修饰reason的歧义吗？为什么？
但是PREP有个例子就会有就近修饰的歧义

Besides adding complementary flavors to many foods, hot sauces stimulate the release of endorphins in the brain, （just as exercise does, and these have a pain-relieving effect like morphine's. ）

错误句：(hot sauces stimulate the release of endorphins in the brain, like exercise, and they have a pain-relieving effect that is like morphine)

再如：OG11-Q104

Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the stars, and hydrogen bombs, （merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors do. ）

错误句：(and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart)

这里的unlike也是有修饰atoms的歧义。

...um,,,难道是限定和非限定的关系？求指教。万分感谢。
