Under a "it doesn't matter it's memory-safe if..."

You may be misinterpreting the intended meaning.

It's like saying it doesn't matter if surgery is done another antiseptic conditions if the patient isn't also given a course of antibiotics during recovery.

It's not an argument against safe practices, it's an argument for amending one kind of safety with others.
