I don't think it was even meant as a linguistic statement. It is part of the introductory blahblah, and the success and efficiency of ANTLR doesn't depend on whether this sentence is true. More generally, using abstract syntax trees for modeling certain relationships has little to do with what human brains do or not do -- it's just efficient for some purposes and some kinds of data. To try to build a story based on this fragment is a bold move, let's say.
