Where have I *EVER* said Ada is perfect?
I readily acknowledged its deficiencies, as in the case where
you could not constrain some integer-type to be only even.

You miss my point completely: your question was if every error
that was in C was also present in Ada, the answer is NO and I
gave an example; all that is needed to disprove an "every"
statement is a single counter-example.
