What does “I hope that you will prove them wrong” mean?

Can the sentence “I hope that you will prove them wrong” be used as a sentence “if) it have two OR more meanings ‘in-sentence’?

I can only make sense of this ‘out-of-sentence’, by asking the previous sentence either “that” point to a previous statement “I hope that!” You will prove them wrong” or by making the action “you will” point to previous statement “I hope that you will get the job done, and will not appoint or deny any wrong! ” Prove them wrong

(Proved them wrong)) (The multiple meaning could also be from double meanings of bat-> words too, like bat-> animal and baseballbat.) _ How would I interpret this sentence?

What are the best ways to have a great experience like this?

Man I can only see one meaning as well.

Do you have to do something in order to change the sense of emphasis

in the sentences used?

*”I hope that you will prove them wrong” means “If they are proved wrong, I hope that you are the one who will do it”. ”

*”I hope that you will prove them wrong” means “When you prove they’re wrong or right, I hope they are wrong” I

don’t know if these count, as they depend where the emphasis goes, which can only really happen when the sentence is spoken (or you use bold/italics like above).

The word wrong can be an adverb. What could mean?

With this change, the referent for them needs to change from people to things you prove (like theorems).
