By that criteria, every single statically typed language is "wrong on some level", you'll always find something you want to do/express which a specific language's compiler will not accept. That's not very helpful.

I'm not saying people should not care, caring about lexical lifetimes being a pain in the ass is perfectly sensible (there's a reason why non-lexical lifetimes are being implemented after all). I'm saying there's a gulf between "the compiler does not allow X" and "the compiler is wrong", and lexical lifetimes are the former.
