Accidental retention of objects in unpredictable situations is a

As a rule, any error can be fixed, but that is not an argument in this
situation. A developer can certainly solve a problem if they are aware
of it. The issue is that if you rely on references, they might never
even realize it exists :)
The problem is not fixing the error, but how easy it is to detect it.

Wasn’t the example above convincing?
