Of course it does, I've got a couple years under my belt as well, but I don't 
want to have to look under the hood every time I start the car.

My point being that if you are going to call C "dangerous" because it has 
pointers, then you are going to have to call direct stack modification, 
direct memory read/writes, and the jmp'ing of assembly "deadly".
