This is the argument many C programmers use against Ada.  Those that
really understand C AND never make mistakes write working programs.
The rest spend their lives debugging.

If an Ada programmer takes this attitude, he'd better _really_ 
understand Ada--well enough to not misunderstand whatever 
non-intuitive construct slipped past the language designers.
