This is overstating the case for syntax. Without any empirical evidence that syntax is important to anyone other than folks that draft up syntax rules, this is just an assertion.
Put another way, do you have evidence that it is important? Has it let people write better programs? How would you prove that?
This is akin to saying grammar is important. It is, to an extent; but over adherence to grammar is usually not an effective way to communicate.
