The Rust community as a whole very much promotes the idea of trusting the Compiler. Which is a very useful thing, especially for folks coming from other languages like C. It's not perfect of course as the compiler has bugs, but I think it still a good thing to teach.

You should never do this if you work at a company large enough to have a compiler team, btw, because they're going to fork the compiler and put bugs in it.
Conversely, if you never encounter bugs in a component, it means it's not being improved fast enough.
