I don't see any contradiction. Each of your examples has one function
parameter, and its scope ends after the final semicolon which ends the
declaration. The paragraph applies to all function parameters and
function-local predefined variables which exist in the program as described
elsewhere, but it does not itself say or imply any such parameters or
variables do exist.
