You statement about absolute correctness doe snot really make sence -vast majorulity of bugs in all software I've ever used are not due to the language design, but are due to blatant mistakes of the application developers.

Well exactly. You and your parent's comment are in agreement: languages like Rust that give you less ways to shoot your foot, encourage writing a more correct code.

The premise of the article is about incorrectness in a language. So while I agree that most bugs are likely caused by the developer and not the language they are using, I think my comment makes sense in reference to the main post.
