oh. ya, i can't read, i guess. i keep getting glimpses of retribution from you
well, they are useless, if those you contend with have a different one, though
Not really. No Lexicon is complete anymore than any dictionary of English is. They do not conflict though some are influenced by theology, they may be briefer due to size considerations, abbreviated as it were. Some like Strong's only cover the meanings used in the KJV, even if not accurate.
The more you use the broader your understandings, and then you need grammars to understand which meaning fits the grammar.
Brief examples in Greek; the neuter gender never refers to a being, rather a thing. The masculine or feminine gender words do not distinguish between male and female when used. If that is not known a wrong understanding can occur.
BUT if the bible is infallible and the translations are inspired of GOD, how can there be any confusion and why would anyone need 6 lexicons to decipher GOD'S INSPIRED book?
The originals were inspired, the copies can contain some errors, but generally in the vast majority of the cases spelling errors and with all the copies we have we can determine easily what was originally said. Confusion comes from man's interpretation (Weeds/tares) and Satan's influence.

No translation is inspired.
So following that logic, NO translation is ACCURATE and the written word CANNOT be relied upon to revel the true nature of God...
