Why cover for people's dumb mistakes?
You're trying to make it seem like the languages are the problem. They're not; the problem is idiot programmers.

Notice that all the hypothetical scenarios you mention are programmer errors, not problems with the programming language.

Did you know that most car and plane crashes are the result of driver and pilot error, not mechanical failures? This obviously means that we should abandon cars and planes; after all, there's surely no way could we ever train people to drive better!
