If "just don't be an idiot" worked in the real world we wouldn't have any need for laws or safety regulations or certifications. It's not and never has been a compelling argument.

Writing C++ is like walking around a construction site without a hard hat and going "ah I don't need it, I'll just make sure nothing falls on my head." Yeah sure, buddy, we'll make sure that's written on your tombstone.
