People using a tool in the wrong way is not necessarily an argument against the tool though. There's always the potential for misuse. (Of course, this misuse should be sharply distinguished from the errors caused by my memory-unsafe features since those will reliably cause errors even if programmers are careful)

Apart from when that tool is a memory unsafe language though...
Isn't rust as a replacement to c one of the central selling points of rust? Ie the tool is crap because people are misusing it
As I have already written above, one will reliably make errors with memory unsafe features even if one is careful. Therefore, it's not the same thing.
