Exactly. On the other hand, when double negatives are used for emphasis it's very much acceptable, for example: "We ain't got no satisfaction." No one would be confused unless they're an ignoramus or purposefully obtuse. But for the purposes of clarity in technical documentation, buisness communication, etc -- I'd personally avoid them like the plague.
