In my non-aviation world there is a concept of the 'radio-assisted collision'. There are plenty of spectacular examples in which protracted discussions over VHF have introduced total confusion and ended in disaster, sometimes because the boat you are actually talking to is not the boat you think you are talking to!

Essentially the message is that you apply the fundamental rules of engagement rather than trying to improvise over the VHF and potentially introducing confusion. I don't know if or how this translates to aviation - but I can imagine it might.
