     Then it just means that the grammar lies. The two claims are mutually

   No, it more points out that not all errors are grammatical. The grammar
   does not (and can not) fully define what is a legal program. Some forms of
   error are semantic, like undefined symbols.

   It appears that rather than try to make the grammar complicated enough to
   describe what is a valid string, that operation was moved into the
   semantics of a string, which simplifies the rules quite a bit.
