Maybe I was too harsh, I apologize. But c is far less dangerous than a kitchen knife.

Tools are tools, some are used with a great amount of care: jackhammers, routers, compression hammers, chainsaws etc.

Heck: driving a vehicle is probably the single most dangerous activity we do on a daily basis.
