That's the syntax equivalent of removing guardrails from a dangerous mountain pass to scare drivers into slowing down.

This is probably going to sound like asking someone to catch sunlight in a teacup, but wouldn't it have been more productive to stress the importance of syntax adherence and consistency rather than remove it altogether?
