The weird thing is, I think the "one chip rule" makes things less clear.

It's crystal clear. If there CAN be ambiguity, it's not a raise.

If you're facing a bet of $6 after a raise from $2, a single $10 chip or two $5 chips are effectively the same thing. They are the correct chips to put in to call the $6. They are also the correct amount to be a raise. If you don't speak up, it's a call. It makes no sense at all to say a single $10 is a call while two $5's is a raise. Just doesn't seem like this is difficult or fuzzy.

Then why does it may sense that if the bet is $2, a single $10 chip would be a call but two $5's would be a raise? A raise to $10 is legal in both cases.

If you are looking for clarity, isn't the easiest answer to assume that the person intended to bet what he actually bet, unless he verbally specified something different?
