In all of these words about words, it may be that the hangup is the word 'significant'. Perhaps all he is saying is that grammar is not the meaning and the words themselves are not the meaning. If I am on the right track then he would also say that sound (and hence any aspect of physics) is not the musical expression.
I may be able agree with all of these if he defines what he means by 'meaning' and 'musical'. So far they have been defined only by what he says they are not. However, it is quite another matter, and the one being questioned here, to say that physics is not significant to music and grammar is not significant to meaning.
