When I say "best part of any programming language" I obviously mean "best part of the in-spec defined parts of any programming language".
Your suggestion that because languages have specified undefined behaviour, they are somehow not precise, makes little sense.

I don't know if this a conventional view. But being able to write parsable, compiler-receivable code that does 'uh, whatever', feels like a reduction in precision to me compared to a language that does not have that property. Otherwise, we're just saying that the precise parts of the language are precise, which isn't much of a differentiator since it's similarly true for all languages.
