I kinda wish we didn't push with the term "memory safe", and instead had a push with "correct". If your software isn't memory safe, it does not work correctly. We should aim to have software that works correctly.

The word "correct" already had a meaning. Memory safety is a subset of correctness in the same way that Rust can't statically prevent race conditions but it can prevent a subset of them called data races.
