Well, as a realizational morphologist, I hardly subscribe to that
view. But I am puzzled by what you would consider syntax to be if
changing word order isn't syntax.

But I want to understand what *you* mean by "syntax" if it doesn't
include ordering of words and phrases.
I'm not trying to challenge anyone - I just genuinely want to
understand the different meanings people ascribe to the word "syntax".
