I mostly agree with this, but what I mean with the unbounded lookahead part of it is that bounding the amount of speculation (or lookaheads/backtracking) is equivalent to limiting the "size" of the error you can recover from.

You should definitely have bounds though, but the point is that if it's too low you might give up on the input too soon.
