The eye-spoon defence of C undefined and unspecified behaviours is very unfortunate and misleading: it makes it sound like avoiding them is as easy as just taking a spoon out of a cup.

Theoretically "stop doing that" works... but history has shown that it really doesn't work in practice, in C, in programming more broadly, and, really, in any human endeavour ("planes don't need safety procedures, just stop making mistakes").
