After seeing many nullity handing and race bugs in Java and PHP code that I wouldn't expect to see in C project; I've wondered if safety tools don't achieve their full promise because they make it easier to be sloppy in general.

E.g. is some of their gains loss because the developer is asleep at the wheel. Some things like this are established in other domains, on cars and bikes there is some evidence that improved safety equipment increases risky behaviour.
