Yeah I tend not to get hung up on the different ways it can trigger. It's more like, if you trigger it your program might run fine for now and then suddenly act up one day. It might die before the undefined behavior. It might launch nukes. Still sure you want to get into this? No? Want to go back to Ruby? Well, Ruby is built atop C. That's the five states of grief I try to get them through.

Worse than that - undefined behaviour can cause optimization to make your software insecure.
