Well you can just as well address your speech to the general C/C++
programmer that he should not only look for the simple bugs, but also
work out the hard ones.

I think it is only C/C++ programmer who think that when Ada programmer
say Ada removes bugs they mean all bugs. On the other hand saying that
Ada programmer are incapable of seeing the bugs in their software, can
also only be just cheap shots at getting ahead in the debate? At any
rate there is a logical bug in the reasoning.
