Memory errors are always logic errors in C. Freeing something that was already freed or accessing a buffer out of bounds and so on are pure logic errors.

But that person was trying to say memory errors are some kind of special "magical" error, which is simply wrong. Memory errors are merely logical errors. There is nothing "special" or "mysterious" about them.
