False. Like for any language, C and C++ programmers (should) put very high value on correctness. Incorrect code can be written in safe languages too, but clearly C/C++ make it much easier to kill your program spectacularly. Discipline, knowledge, and tools are required to work in C/C++.

  That doesn't mean it's not true though? People habe been claiming the earth is round since 500 BC, yet it's still as true as ever.

Not just kill your program spectacularly - in memory unsafe languages, simple logic errors turn in to remote code execution.
