You elided the qualification "If it is a critical system". dmd is not a safety critical application.
Nor are 99.99%, possibly 100%, of the applications currently being built with D. The points are valid, no safety critical application should ever rely on any individual components not failing. But for the purpose of D, they are not particularly applicable. People are just arguing over two different things (safety critical code vs standard D code), with neither disagreeing with the others, simply bringing up different situations.
