I agree that nothing solves all possible problems. But it's a huge jump from "there is no silver bullet" to "changing the language doesn't bring ANYTHING". Likely, it is quite a bit more subtle in practice. Preventing "obvious" errors (which really aren't always that obvious) that safe languages could minimize is already a great start, as many systems are rife with them.
