abstract = {Two fundamentally different ways of diagnosing
grammatical errors in programs are defined and compared.
It is shown that for certain languages the sets of error
points found by the two techniques are essentially different.
Furthermore, one technique will quite generally lead to fewer
error positions in given programs than the other technique.
It is suggested, but obviously not proved, that the notion
of a \emph{spurious} error is related to the discussion in
this article.}
