The idea
A solved sentence must fit the passage around it. If the plain version contradicts what the previous sentence established, the solution is wrong even though it parses. Consistency across the passage is the test that catches a plausible misreading.
In practice
Does it fit what came before?
Where people slip
A parsing reading can still be wrong.
