I don't disagree, but this is objectively just hope. The only reason N*7 is huge is because C's adoption. There is nothing to suggest that Rust's N*(bad issue %) is smaller than Cs if it had the same adoption as C. It's fanbase is just trying to increase its presence at the expense of C, to then be able to say "see, we did it, we replaced C and we're better off!", but today, it's equally likely that the outcome is going to be "well, we didn't know about <insert issue here> at the time".
It's not so much hope as it is just me being an expert in security and rust and being able to state that very confidently based on my deep understanding of the relevant fields. I could be wrong in the sense that all things are unknowable and truth doesn't exist, but I think I'm right.
