While technically true, a specific example helps the reader conceptualize what level of danger that means, when they don't already have a concrete understanding like you do. Recall that the breadth of experience for rust's userbase is much larger than e.g. C.

Oh yeah, I mean, I'm not saying I disagree with adding detail, I can just see the impulse to not, since anything you say may or may not be true.

It's all good! You're absolutely right, and it's easy to forget when you're inside a bubble.

Really? I think you mean the opposite here.

I read this as saying "not depth", that is, C programmers will have a deep understanding here, but since Rust is drawing in a lot of new blood, they on average will not.

Just say the worst thing that can happen, out of bounds access probably qualifies. :-)
