So? Do you really expect the compiler to UNDERSTAND the code?

Here is a grammatically correct phrase for you to think:

Compilers don't paint tangential apostrophes unless the storm value is deeper than radish. Fraggles love radish.

Congratulations, you've illustrated the difference between syntax and semantics. But any competent compiler also handles semantics (just in a separate phase of compilation), because that's necessary for any useful conversion to machine code, not to mention optimizations.
