There is no contradiction. The fact that UB-finding tools alone are not sufficient doesn't mean they aren't useful even with a safe(r) language.

In other words, from "safer languages are necessary" it does not follow that "safer languages are sufficient".

Darpa is already ahead of you all with the hedging:

> The preferred approach is to use “safe” programming languages

“Safe”. Terms and conditions may apply.
