I find it worrying that you take so lightly on basic correctness. Asserts
are entirely probabilistic in nature. What you are arguing for is a regime
where a single bad assert can result in the user's disk getting wiped even
though you had protections in place in the code without asserts that would
have prevented it. That is horrible.
The idea is you test your code with assertions enabled, and then only use
'-release' when you are sure your program functions correctly.
If you are doing critical work or do not trust program input, either do not
disable assertions or use a tool like enforce that does not get disabled in
release mode.
