The about page? https://www.memorysafety.org/about/ That phrase isn't on the page linked in the story either.

I fully agree that sentence is terrible. I did not see that when making my comment.

Is it terrible? Which part of it do you disagree with? I agree with it entirely.

I think it is far too broad to be taken literally. I also think, regardless if it's true or not, it's phrased in too combative of a way to be actually useful. Even if one does believe that this is true in all cases, presenting it this way isn't likely to help achieve that goal, and thus, it's a terrible statement. Finally, talking like this about technologies tends to beget an attitude and culture that ends up being unable to evenhandedly evaluate engineering tradeoffs. This makes you miss certain advantages, even in new technologies you may not like overall, which means you can't take advantage of the good parts.
