Implying that correctness necessitates a lack of ergonomics is deeply flawed.

The distinction between correctness and safety is that safety is willing to suffer false positives, in pursuit of correctness. Correctness is just correctness.

It's not flawed. Ergonomics are correlated with complexity. If you can remove edge cases by giving up on correctness you can remove complexity.
