This is a truism. When you use C, particularly when you use pointers, you
must have a constant deep understanding of exactly what your code is doing. A whole category of bugs is possible that only the programmer is capable of tracking down and dealing with.
When you don't have the option of using pointers, you can usually trust that the compiler is keeping track of things for you appropriately. Debugging is a
lot easier when your tools can show you how things are going wrong.
