That's the problem with these languages (both C and C++) — it's always the user's fault. The language blows up if you accidentally miss one of the twelve thousand rules? User's fault, PEBCAK. If only the poster X was writing the software in question, these bugs never would have happened. I've seen this argument a million times.
