Well, knowing Dijkstra, what would you expect. Anyway, he was talking about syntax, wherehere we are discussing a problem with semantics. Now Dijkstra might suggest printing "Not semantically correct" as an error message. But he knows whatt it is to teach students. And he's sure one heck of a teacher on many aspects of computer science. Harm Munk Standard disclaimer: none (what the heck, I resigned anyway)
