It illustrates meaningless of comparisons like "safer" taken out of
context. Maybe better one would be:

NASA trained astronauts to climb trees, because being on a tree you would
be closer to the Moon.

Identifiers as goto labels in Ada are safer than numeric labels in FORTRAN.
Did that make gotos better? Yes, it did. Does that justify use of gotos? By
no means.
