My basis is the %, not the simple fact that it has irrelevant instances.

So let me charitably ask directly: have you looked through all the examples at least on the first couple of pages? And if you have, what % of instances is relevant to your point?

I think this is covered in my reply to shakow. Unless Rust is absolutely riddled with bugs, it’s obviously going to be hard to find uses of unwrap that are definitely bad. The point is that there’s no way to easily assure yourself that all the uses of unwrap are definitely good.

It would be similarly difficult to trawl through the source of the Go compiler and find definitely bad instances of pointer dereferencing. So does that mean that it’s not actually a problem in Go either?
