You could actually argue the opposite. People who can use C++ need to reason about their programs because otherwise they're going to shoot their foot off. You can be irresponsible in a language like python and get away with it because you're not going to cause the issues you would in C++. I think that, to some extent, this is true. If you don't know what you're doing I find it's easier to code yourself into a corner in C++ than something like python. (Disclaimer: I haven't used C++ in a decade)
