We don't know how to secure C codebases by manual review. It's been well known to security engineering people for decades. And has been wider industry and academic consensus for a long time. It's like "is man-made climate change real".
(We don't know how to secure other codebases either, but C is harder since its memory safety story is like a chainsaw juggling act so code has classes of vulnerabilities that other languages don't and this eats a lot of the attention).
