Not naming concrete languages: "using knowingly wrong technology is criminal
in some application domains." Using any programming language is definitely
a technology. Thus, according to you, C++ is universally applicable
everywhere under any circumstances. I would not claim that even for Ada.

Compare with: "I'm sure that many physicians do not clean their hands."

So the proposition is:
"In some places one could take someone's life for pair dollars => if
somebody dies because of my fault, I would not care, I would just get one
beer less."
Observe that logically (and legally) it isn't perfect, because "place" in
the left and right parts of the proposition are different.
