Accepted are taught what they mean and what they prevent so when the accepted swear they operate as they've been taught.
Take the first one:
"I will speak no word that isn't true."
If Oath rod took every word literately, after speaking it the speaker would have a one word vocabulary("True" is the only word I can speak).
Yet it supposedly prevents them from communicating a lie in writing.
Yet they can still omit the truth or deceptively infer lies.
