neutral  Sebastian Lopez: No me convence del todo Cristina´s solution. Anyway, me inclino por la palabra "vago", tan solo para ser fiel al texto original. Vago y Ambiguo no significan necesariamente lo mismo

no obstante/si bien resultan inciertas/imprecisas/inconsistentes/vagas


Explanation:
necessarily para qué ser tan literal (por fuerza). Aquí significaría que "siempre contienen esa dosis de incerteza, imprecisión, inconsistencia,etc.

if aquí es: aunque, si bién, no obstante

las definiciones de un mismo concepto invariablemente adolecen de imprecisiones, de falta de certeza,de solidez, de seguridad, de claridad, de vaguedad, etc.

On the other hand these different views may simply consist of contrasting conceptions of the same, if necessarily vague, concept.

Por otro lado, estos diversos enfoques/puntos de vista pueden deberse simplemente a percepciones diferentes sobre un mismo concepto, no obstante/ si bien invariablemente resultan vagas/ imprecisas,etc.

Más opciones para "aunque por fuerza vagas".

No es una opción es algo que siempre desemboca en lo mismo, es un resultado comprobado.
