That sentence was about "garbage in, garbage out".
When I mentioned crashes and security breaches, I was thinking of C, for 
example fprintf, scanf and similar functions.

I fully agree there. And I think Lua authors agree too, we have seen 
them actively fixing the rare crashes and security warnings that were

The lack of checking is on parameters that don't make crashes, like 
discussed here.
