No, I was agreeing that you'd have to be more specific as "less" or "fewer" don't adequately detail the severity of the side-effects.

I've already said that both "less" and "fewer" are both unambiguous in my view as they, to me, imply the number of side-effects. Either that or they're both ambiguous in terms of whether you infer that they cover severity or not. Either way, I don't see it as one being ambiguous and not the other.
