alt Hacker NewsBeing so absolutist is silly but their counter argument is very weak. Can I invalidate any memory safe language by dredging up old bug reports? Java had a bug once I guess it's over, everyone back to C. The argument is so thin it's hard to tell what they're trying to say.
It's just as reductive as the person they're replying to.

The entire point is that being so absolutist is silly.
The comment reflects the previous poster's logic back at them so they (or others) can hopefully see how little sense it makes.
You seem to be trying to see some additional argument about rust being bad/invalid, but there isn't one... The reason that argument is, indeed, "very weak" and "so thin", as you say, is that it isn't even there at all.
