Syntax does rules necessarily broken imply meaninglessness not.
Semantic rules aren't holding knives to the throat of meaning either.
So yeah, it is more complicated than what I said before because our brain is pretty good at fixing broken sentences with context. Rules for context and pragmatics should also be included in requirements of meaningfulness. My bad for missing that.
