Not to get into a religious argument over this, but if programmers did
proper data scrubbing and bounds checking regardless of the language, there
wouldn't be much of a problem either. Granted, I am not uber programmer (I
have hacked together proggies of a couple of thousand lines for my own use
and I am sure there were lots of problems in them) but even being self
taught, I learned to do data scrubbing and bounds checking just for
reliability. I have to think it is taught in programming 101.
