He writes out a list of places where C++ is undoubtly better and can help write safer code over the alternatives when you question him -- not perfect code, just code that better utilizes modern features, to help reliability -- and your response is... to avoid his question, address nothing, and do some random handwaving with an FQA. Honestly, the response would be funny if it wasn't just a little bit pathetic. But I've learned not to expect much from people who can only handwave with no actual substance. Programmers are good at that.
