Meh, I don't believe it. Every language has ambiguity and if anyone in the world could be bothered wasting a year studying Lojban then they'd probably find them there too. This sounds to me like everything that Esperanto was supposed to be; ultimately, the really important thing is just the manner in which people develop artificial languages and not so much the languages themselves.
By the way, why does a five-letter root remind you of Hebrew? Just because it's a fixed number? To the best of my knowledge, very few nouns in Hebrew have five-letter etymological roots. When they crop up, people tend to relegate them to the status of being Persian loanwords, but that's possibly just because most Biblical scholars don't know any Persian. Either way, most words (nouns and verbs) are triliteral.
